lyrics

Did you see the window
Where the winds blows
To and fro
As above so below

I don't want to Bonnie and Clyde
The open road
With love, you say
We'll beat it astray

Or run around
Every cheap part of town
Drunk as a frown
What goes up must go down

Trading your knowledge to an open ear
Down the Harlem stoves You've mined for gold

Paying a handsome fee for all that's free
Settlin' for a cheap escape in a child's dream
But all you've seen's the stars
And illusions of alchemy

Did you see the ring
The gifts they bring
The lead and the gold
Something new something old

A little jingle jangle
In the morning light
As heavy as a son
Wailing to be born

Now I know it's early
To dance eternally
Between Acheron and Styx
Before the fiery pits

But on a slippery slope and lost my guide
Abandon all hope

Down to the medicine man subscription for free
Open up the wounds for all to see
But all you've seen's the scars
And illusions of alchemy

Ceres my darling
Says she's starving
For them good old days
A hand for the grain

Peddling the streets
In the industry rain
Expecting
Fortune and fame

Now I suppose you say
It ain't gonna be that way
Speaking in tongues
Lost to a song

Without the rules no-one knows the game
Dorian Greys, pictures in a frame

In the foggy ruins of yesterdays dream
Cradling a future for all to see
But all you've seen's the past
And illusions of alchemy

about

Tatchell and the Tambourine England, UK

We don't listen to music anymore, we listen to song.
Don't go anymore,
Except where we belong.
But I know a Gym
Called Whisky and Gin
A full deck only
The Big man 'll
Let you in
There is no end
Or place to begin
Or even win
Only a whole glass
Half full of Slim
And a friendly soul
Who no doubt you'll
Know not at all
But let's call him Jim
For he wears a grin.
