Story behind the song
Rag-and-bone men used to travel from village to village collecting rags, bones (to make glue), and other discarded items (e.g. of iron or steel). I liked the notion of applying that image to human behaviour, and how we so often make inappropriate choices from among alternatives. Or step back from choosing at all, our hearts beating 'betwixt and between'.
Lyrics
Rag-and-Bone Man V1 I’m here to retrieve All the times you’ve wasted Every precious moment [That] You’ve never tasted V2 [The] vows that you broke Will become my treasure Chances you squandered I'll cherish at leisure Chorus I'm a rag-and-bone man [And] I scavenge in hearts Ones that beat betwixt and between A rag-and-bone man In a beat-up cart I haul your remnants of love To my scrap heap of dreams V3 A dealer in junk I'm in all your tomorrows Waiting while you forfeit The life that you've borrowed I'm a rag-and-bone man [And] I scavenge in hearts Ones that beat betwixt and between A rag-and-bone man In a beat-up cart I haul your remnants of love To my scrap heap of dreams Bridge I’m doing you a favour Taking what you don't need But I leave enough behind So your loneliness can feed I'm a rag-and-bone man [And] I scavenge in hearts Ones that beat betwixt and between A rag-and-bone man In a beat-up cart I haul your remnants of love To my scrap heap of dreams © 2011-2015 Donna Devine
