Terry Hall - Ballad Of A Landlord

Текст песни

on the day you arrived
the bedroom curtains were drawn
all was still
the way you left it same number on the door
easy come, easy go what a way to treat your soul
though i confess
where once hearts rested
now there’s nothing
but a hole
so the prodigal son returns
i guess the pleasure’s not enough
did he promise you the earth
a world of beauty an the bluff
i tried to tend the garden
until the flowers fell to weed
so now the place lies in a ruin
the way you lied and ruined me do i have the answer
if i did i wouldn’t know
so take it if you want it if you don’t
then let me go fake leopard skin fur says it all
you never could be real
how i long to taste the secrets
from your lands of phoney tears
you tried to be a movement
but there was no one on your side
did you come back here to haunt me or take me for a ride
take yourself away
i’ve been here once before
and i can’t have you hurting me anymore
