lyrics

Shadows crawl across the floor in the morning sun
Silhouettes turn a shade of green before the days been done
It's a very strange game we play but anyway what of it
Watching the wind roll in with rainy eyes
Walking down the same old streets with snake-skin boots
It takes a heavy rain to wash the blood away
But only thunder to break the pain

There ain't no need to tell you
About the beasts at the ball
You don't need another yes man
Or a crutch to break the fall
Why do you stand and stare in awe
Nothing lasts that long

The sky burns red in a foreign land
My heart skips a beat every time I hold your hand
Please tell me where it is you like to dance
If there's one thing I know it's that you can't always go
And meet everyone at their demands
Playing chess with ivory bones
Trading all your (k)nights in for porn(s)
It takes a heavy load to break your back in the road
But only a flower to lose your soul

The ain't no need to tell you
About the fire and the rain
You don't need a prescription
Or doctor for the pain
Why do you laugh and stare in scorn
Nothing lasts that long

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. ... more
