lyrics

A shadow looms
Love and fear
A lazy Sunday
One last beer
Behind the veil
It's heaven or hell

Loose tongues
Pallid cheeks
My love
Doesn't get to speak
Behind the veil
Words are for sale

With a juggler and a clown, to amuse you
In times like these
The world becomes a scene

Blood in the street
All or nothing
Undertaker's got
A six foot coffin
Below the veil
There's a final nail

Wealth lies
Infant feet
Jewels shine
Royal seats
Below the veil
Goes the wishing well

With fools and fiends, believe me
In times like these
The wounds will gush and bleed

Moral guides
Self-help books
Vampire gurus
Snake-skin crooks
Beyond the veil
Your dreams will be mailed

Slip stream
Time will tell
Who will rise
Who has fell
Beyond the veil
All ships must sail

With a pirate and a thief to guide you
In times like these
You'll find yourself at sea

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.
