Song | Swing for the crime |
Artist | The Saints |
Album | 100 Hits New Wave |
Locked in a room full of words | |
I’m the one-eyed midget with the curse | |
The simpleton who sweetly smiles at his young lover now beguiled | |
The sycophantic morons lied at Romeo who is the bride, let's ride | |
Stoned as I walk down the hall | |
The adman waits to hear the curse and call | |
The angels scream in discontent as to the river they are led | |
The actors bow and pay the rent, we cover them in cold cement | |
Let's swing for the crime everyone in double time | |
And we hope that you had a good time | |
Yeah smile as you sign on the line | |
Because life on your knees can be fun | |
Surprised now you're not the only one | |
Led like a lamb into this gloom | |
Yeah Freud is in the back room with his goons | |
Now they've got new experiments, the metal groans, the limbs are rent | |
The anti-heros’ mock dissent, we market now by mass consent | |
We swing for the crime everyone in double time | |
Scream like you’ll burst if they cry | |
Is changed by the words that you learn | |
But Jack the Ripper is inside | |
And Moriarty has imbibed | |
They live, they marry, all the while | |
We laugh and have them circumcised | |
They swing for the crime everyone in double time | |
And we hope that you had a good time | |
Yeah smile as you sign on the line | |
Because life on your knees can be fun | |
Are you glad that you're not the only one? |
Locked in a room full of words | |
I' m the oneeyed midget with the curse | |
The simpleton who sweetly smiles at his young lover now beguiled | |
The sycophantic morons lied at Romeo who is the bride, let' s ride | |
Stoned as I walk down the hall | |
The adman waits to hear the curse and call | |
The angels scream in discontent as to the river they are led | |
The actors bow and pay the rent, we cover them in cold cement | |
Let' s swing for the crime everyone in double time | |
And we hope that you had a good time | |
Yeah smile as you sign on the line | |
Because life on your knees can be fun | |
Surprised now you' re not the only one | |
Led like a lamb into this gloom | |
Yeah Freud is in the back room with his goons | |
Now they' ve got new experiments, the metal groans, the limbs are rent | |
The antiheros' mock dissent, we market now by mass consent | |
We swing for the crime everyone in double time | |
Scream like you' ll burst if they cry | |
Is changed by the words that you learn | |
But Jack the Ripper is inside | |
And Moriarty has imbibed | |
They live, they marry, all the while | |
We laugh and have them circumcised | |
They swing for the crime everyone in double time | |
And we hope that you had a good time | |
Yeah smile as you sign on the line | |
Because life on your knees can be fun | |
Are you glad that you' re not the only one? |
