"Bed Of Nails" lyrics
"Bed Of Nails"
Don't think of what we can and can't achieve
Perfection like this can't be guaranteed
Hearts get lost, lovers leave
Lets just see what friendship actually needs
And if you ever do wrong I'm right behind you
If ever you may sin, count me in
If that devil doubt should come to find you
Count on me and don't you count on him
If luck should quit this town
If fortune sails
If conversation breaks down
If love derails
I'll be that back up call
If all else fails
I'll swap this bed of roses
For a bed of nails
I wouldn't mind being left up on that shelf
If I hadn't actually built, built the thing myself
But since there's only you and no one else
I don't get too wound up about my health
And if ever shelf may fall I'm right below you
In need of DIY then I'm your guy
If lack of confidence should come to know you
Don't let those tears you cry stop you and I
If luck should quit this town
If fortune sails
If conversation breaks down
If love derails
I'll be that back up call
If all else fails
I'll swap this bed of roses
For a bed of nails

Go to the shop, make plans to be leaving
In the morning

The Charlatans - "One To Another" One to another
Sister and a brother
Changing the way that you feel
Pleased to meet you

Always lookin' for...
Squeeze - "Labelled With Love" She unscrews the top of her new whisky bottle
And shuffles around in her candle-lit hovel
Like some kind of witch with blue fingers in mittens
She smells like the cat and the neighbours she sickens...
