lyrics

She deals in tricks, an easy fix
Running in and out of her whirl
It ain't easy, I ain't glad
Listing all things we will never have
Fashion fads of glads and sadness
Bowlin' down the mill house road
Life's easier in your dream
Monday morning, snoring, I can see
A Sunday morning hymn or a melody

When you gonna comfort me
Fall down into the subterrain
Take what is yours for free
Livin' down and low ain't easy
One by one they're gonna make you bleed
Diagnose some form of malady
But you were born in the wrong place
Born at the wrong time

She licks her lips, got pirate hips
Pleasures locked away with her pearls
Sea shell swirls and a treasure trove
Diamonds light the skies of an open road
Trinkets are our destiny
And trading your hours for a pretty penny
It ain't no way to be
Though they all fall down the line
Cogs in machines in the factory times

When you gonna come for me
I like the clack of a steam train baby
And I believe
In all the ecstacies of a young man's dreams
She said she would write for me
A song of revelation and liberty
But you were born in the wrong place
Born to a wrong time

When you gonna come for me
Make an escape in an aeroplane babe
And concede
All flights of fancy and foolish dreams
I would write to she
A song of desperation and lunacy
We were born in the wrong place
Born at the wrong time

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.
