Suit Of Lights
Lyricist:Declan Mcmanus
While Nat King Cole sings, 'Welcome To My World' You request some song you hate you sentimental fool And it's the force of habit, if it moves then you fuck it If it doesn't move you stab it
And I thought I heard, 'The Working Man Blues' He went out to work that night and wasted his breath Outside there was a public execution Inside he died a thousand deaths
And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground And they put him in a suit of lights
In the perforated first editions Where they advocate the hangman's noose Then tell the sorry tale of the spent princess Her uncouth escort looking down her dress
Anyway they say that she wears the trousers And learnt everything that she does And doesn't know if she should tell him Yes or let him go
And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And they put him in a suit of lights
Well, it's a dog's life in a rope leash or a diamond collar It's enough to make you think right now But you don't bother
For goodness sake as you cry and shake Let's keep your face down in the dirt where you belong And think of all the pleasure that it brings Though you know that it's wrong
And there's still life in your body But most of it's leaving Can't you give us all a break? Can't you stop breathing?
And I thought I heard, 'The Working Man's Blues' I went to work that night and wasted my breath Outside they're painting tar on somebody It's the closest to work are but they will never be
And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground And they put him in a suit of lights
And they put him in a suit of lights And they put him in a suit of lights
