lyrics
I shut my door on the weeping world just to shoot myself in the foot
The virtues of the silent life are a dull and a vague as they look
For a cup of tea would I cross the sea
For a warm reply would I close my eyes
Till it’s hard to see when the sun might rise
Or when I’m dreaming (Or when I’m dreaming)
Now hand me my hand and help me to stand and throw back the great grey door
The hard and the grand and the dead to display, much brighter than mornings before
The steam in your ears it just withers away and I’ll sit here and suffer no more
I want the London Eye and the desert sky and the finest works of art
So give me a spade I’ve no honor to trade I don’t care if my mind falls apart
Now who kicked these walls, who scraped and who scrawled, who spoke in a voice so low
Well mine was the thumb and the tongue and the leg, but who’s was the head I don’t know
There’s nothing I need so there’s no need to beg, for yesterday is so long ago
I want the London Eye and the desert sky and the finest works of art
So give me a spade I’ve no honor to trade I don’t care – I don’t care
Until I lay me down in the cold black ground
(And I’m gonna miss everybody)
The virtues of the silent life are a dull and a vague as they look
For a cup of tea would I cross the sea
For a warm reply would I close my eyes
Till it’s hard to see when the sun might rise
Or when I’m dreaming (Or when I’m dreaming)
Now hand me my hand and help me to stand and throw back the great grey door
The hard and the grand and the dead to display, much brighter than mornings before
The steam in your ears it just withers away and I’ll sit here and suffer no more
I want the London Eye and the desert sky and the finest works of art
So give me a spade I’ve no honor to trade I don’t care if my mind falls apart
Now who kicked these walls, who scraped and who scrawled, who spoke in a voice so low
Well mine was the thumb and the tongue and the leg, but who’s was the head I don’t know
There’s nothing I need so there’s no need to beg, for yesterday is so long ago
I want the London Eye and the desert sky and the finest works of art
So give me a spade I’ve no honor to trade I don’t care – I don’t care
Until I lay me down in the cold black ground
(And I’m gonna miss everybody)
