| [00:20.34] |
did you ever have to do the thing |
| [00:23.20] |
you swore you'd never do? |
| [00:25.00] |
something filthy and impatient |
| [00:27.27] |
something churlish, bold and shrewd |
| [00:30.32] |
sit down my boy |
| [00:32.33] |
and i'll tell you exactly how |
| [00:34.93] |
i crawled right through |
| [00:40.44] |
gathering your confidence |
| [00:42.24] |
and hear the story of a man who came undone |
| [00:54.31] |
first you weigh up your commitments |
| [00:56.92] |
where your loyalties really lie |
| [00:59.14] |
and if you bump into jesus |
| [01:01.78] |
you just look him in the eye |
| [01:04.24] |
tell him that you're fine |
| [01:07.18] |
silently return to sharpening your knife |
| [01:14.43] |
and finally when the time comes |
| [01:16.58] |
think of who you really need |
| [01:23.13] |
and close your eyes so tightly think they'll bleed |
| [01:30.19] |
never drop your guard or let them know |
| [01:32.44] |
the thoughts inside your head |
| [01:35.25] |
just do what you've always done |
| [01:37.52] |
they'll all wish you were dead |
| [01:39.97] |
or crush your heart, your spirit and your soul |
| [01:42.22] |
but keep your eyes ahead |
| [01:49.29] |
remember when the time comes |
| [01:51.70] |
there'll be nowhere you can hide |
| [01:57.71] |
it'll just be you, your heart and your bruised pride |
| [02:05.13] |
never break the line, never click your heels in time |
| [02:08.79] |
if your heart's anything like mine that's not the way |
| [02:12.69] |
don't get comfortable down there |
| [02:14.80] |
don't pretend that it's always fair |
| [02:17.41] |
and your fingers crossed |
| [02:20.07] |
and it's not your loss |
| [02:30.95] |
so if you really want to you can stay |
| [02:31.65] |
you can stay |
| [02:43.28] |
never drop your guard and let them |
| [02:45.63] |
know the thoughts inside your head |
| [02:48.37] |
just do what you've always done |
| [02:50.44] |
they'll all wish you were dead |
| [02:52.94] |
they'll crush your heart, the spirit and your soul |
| [02:56.90] |
but keep your eyes ahead |
| [03:02.36] |
then someday when your bones break |
| [03:03.97] |
and you don't know gifts from theft |
| [03:10.76] |
drink yourself away one to my left |
| [03:17.28] |
never break the line, never click your heels in time |
| [03:21.10] |
if your heart's anything like mine that's not the way |
| [03:25.24] |
don't get comfortable down there |
| [03:27.29] |
don't pretend that it's always fair |
| [03:29.81] |
and your fingers crossed |
| [03:31.81] |
and it's not your loss |
| [03:34.42] |
so if you really want to you can stay |
| [03:38.88] |
you can stay |
