Description
A song based loosely on my South London neighbours - lovely in the front garden, more sinister by night. Tiffs were often audible through the thin and flaky walls, but one night I was woken by "PUT DOWN THE KNIFE! JUST PUT DOWN THE KNIFE!!!"
Lyrics
If you listen you can hear the lover wake and wake he does, you can hear the woman cuss - Into the night and on for a year, undone by a sympathetic ear, out of the veil, and the ordinary. It's a cautionary tale from my Literary Kingdom - one that I could do without. It's a cautionary tale - one that I forgot to mention, one that rung true as I tell. Go! Step back from yourself put down the knife, the sole disguise that I don't want to mess with. Go! Listen to yourself, these walls are thinner than you first surmised and I want to wake up with my head held high - that's if we wake at all! If you listen you can hear the weapon drawn make out the lover scorn glass against the wall... in time to witness a crime committed what if she heard me in haste, obsurbly My heart is racing the time she's facing these lines we're drawing are mighty blurry. This is a message to myself, This is a lesson I would rather have gone without. This is the leverage I wouldn't have lived without. This is the lesson that I'd rather have gone without. It's a cautionary tale from my Literary Kingdom - one that I was forced to tell. It's a cautionary tale - one that I forgot to mention, I want you to live without. (break a wing don't fly) It's a cautionary tale from my literary Kingdom - one that I was forced to tell. (break a wing don't fly) It's a cautionary tale from my literary Kingdom - from my throne it could end well! (break a wing don't fly) © 2011 Seldom Party
