Hey, what would you do with a hole in your heel,
A hole in your heel, letting the rain through?
What would you do with a hole in your heel,
A hole in your heal, letting the rain through?
Mend it mend it, that's what you would do.
Mend it mend it, that's what you would do.
Hey, what would you do with a hole in your sole,
A hole in the sole, letting the rain through.
What would you do with a hole in your sole,
A hole in your spirit, a hole right in you.
Mend it mend it, that's what you would do.
Mend it mend it, that's what you would do.
Did they tell you you’re shit at it,
You’re shit at it, you’re shit at it,
All the way through.
Did they tell you you’re shit at it,
You’re shit at it, you’re shit at it,
All the way through.
Mend it mend it, that's what you must do.
Mend it mend it, you owe it to you.
Well you might have been a ragged-arsed kid,
Running around in a ragged-arse world.
You might have been a golden-arsed kid,
Running around in a golden-arse world.
It makes no difference, it makes no difference,
It makes no difference, it's still your own soul.
It makes no difference, it makes no difference,
It makes no difference, make yourself whole.
All those kids with the beauty,
kicked out of all of them.
Dreams torn and scattered,
Deep to their souls.
Those kids who excelled,
And were pushed to be excellent.
Never let off from best,
Deep to their souls,
Mend it mend it, that’s what you must do.
Mend it mend it, you owe it to you.
Hey, what would you do with a hole in your heel,
A hole in your heel, letting the rain through?
What would you do with a hole in your heel,
A hole in your heel, letting the rain through?
Mend it mend it, that's what you must do.
Mend it mend it, you owe it to you.
