Boxing (with West Australian Symphony Orchestra) - Live at Kings Park, Perth, Australia - March 2005

Howard, the strangest things have happened lately
 When I take a good swing at all my dreams, they pivot
 And slip, I drop my fists and they're back laughing
 Howard, my intention's become not to lose
 What I've won, ambition has given way
 To desperation and I lost the fight for my eyes
 Boxing's been good to me, Howard
 Now I'm told, "You're growing old"
 The whole time he knew, a couple of years
 I'd be through, has boxing been good to you?
 Howard, now I confess, I'm scared and lonely and tired
 They seem to think I'm made of clay, another day
 I'm not cut out for this, I just know what to say, I say
 Boxing's been good to me, Howard
 Now I'm told, "You're growing old"
 The whole time he knew, a couple of years
 I'd be through, has boxing been good to you?
 Well, sometimes I punch myself hard as I can
 Yelling, "Nobody cares", hoping some one
 Will tell me how wrong I am, Howard
 Boxing's been good to me, Howard
 Now I'm told, "You're growing old"
 The whole time he knew, a couple of years
 I'd be through, has boxing been good?
 Has boxing been good? Has boxing been good?
