lyrics

Church steeple chimes on sunday morn,
clocks stop the day that you were born
My Friend, You haven't changed

Hear the clink of glasses raised
As they kick the hands away

Monkeys stop to speculate
Talking shop with the delegate
the moneys drunk on dead handshakes
and restroom breaks
father plays in stocks and trades,
cleans his rifle on Saturdays
the birds he hunts are made of clay
and they thank him in the ricochet

How many men have cursed his name?
a penny earned for every pound he made

Rose see that man he drinks for free,
you'll laugh 'he's a better man than me benny'
His voice is soft
and hands lined with clay as he stares
into the grey

Children's toys stay locked away
For the hand me down matinee
The day their piggy banks all break
like cheap porcelain

Orphans curtsey as they wait
Just like the dogs that daddy trains
it's thirsty work, they pile the plates:
higher every day

The landlord's listening to country music
rose she's talking to god, does he hear me?
does he hear me?

Knives drawn a shark's eye for the street
top heavy but talks light on his feet
making time for any passing lady
watch him move from man to child
with every flicker of his smile
no free admission on Sundays

Lost to tear aways
papal visits for emigres
in blood they trust the bailiffs pay, everyday

Oh blast I never had it at all to lose it
I never thought it would cost me everything,
oh just everything

The moat runs cold and drawbridge raised
canon balls are going to waste for
paper weights
half dead statues hold their truths,
Count the candles and chambermaids
they smile at you, but the lips don't move
