lyrics

Looking at this table it’s a small and fragile place
And we're shuffling the same deck of cards
with a shaking eldest hand and a stone staring face
We're shuffling the same deck of cards
But someone voted out the rules and now they’re rigging the game
We're shuffling the same deck of cards
Left us trying to deal a winner that the pack don’t contain
Shuffling the same deck of cards

Same deck of cards
Same deck of Cards
Shuffling the same deck of cards
Everybody’s chances don’t amount to that much
When we’re just shuffling the same deck of cards

This deal is short on dignity, patience and tact
And we're shuffling the same deck of cards
That's just not the kind of punter this meeting attracts
We're shuffling the same deck of cards
Scratch the surface, call the bluff, pay the joining fee
We'll be shuffling the same deck of cards
Kick the can down the road and the pork barrel to the sea
Shuffling the same deck of cards

Same deck of cards
Same deck of Cards
Shuffling the same deck of cards
Everybody’s chances don’t amount to that much
When we’re just shuffling the same deck of cards

In the last round we're all discarded props from somebody’s tricks
And we're shuffling the same deck of cards
Face down in the mud is where we’re gonna stick
Shuffling the same deck of cards
Slumped in a broken euchre drive with a gambling habit
Shuffling the same deck of cards
Until we take this sleaze deal by the balls and grab it
We'll be shuffling the same deck of cards

Same deck of cards
Same deck of Cards
Shuffling the same deck of cards
Everybody’s chances don’t amount to that much
When we’re just shuffling the same deck of cards

about

Julian Gaskell image

Julian Gaskell UK

Described by angry locals as the bastard son of Waits, Strummer, Reinhardt and Rachmaninov, Julian Gaskell’s music over the last 20 years has followed a wayward path of withering agricultural-folk, klezmer accordion, overly-lyrical punk, gypsy-jazz guitar, tangos, waltzes, rhumbas and skiffled-up boogie-woogie piano. ... more
