Furniture - Horslips

Solid as a chair from an older time

You watched me slowly grow away from you

Only half understood the things I had to do

But you let me try although it brought the pain to you

You let me try x 2

The best and oldest furniture cannot be rearranged

If it suits the way it is there is no need to change

The best and straightest arrow is the one that will range

Out of the archers view

Verse 2: Badly beaten by the troubles you had to bear

You invested everything you had in me

Hoping I would hoist your flag for all to see

But I broke the things you cherished so carefully

You watched them break x 2

Chorus: The best and oldest furniture cannot be rearranged

If it suits the way it is there is no need to change

The best and straightest arrow is the one that will range

Out of the archers view
