The Damned - Grimly Fiendish Lyrics

The Damned Lyrics

"Grimly Fiendish"

Grimly fiendish
Plays the game that never pays
Somehow loud but never brave

Grimly fiendish
Wears a coat that's black and long
He doesn't know that it's all wrong

Simply fiendish
A child caught in a grown up world
No lies convince the court
Once a week I could be
Found on the faces all the frowns
Hide and seek tried so hard
And justify that crime could pay
Just for today

Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy

Let me put the story straight
You never gave me a break
It's a case of give and take
You didn't make me good you just painted me green
You made me part of your forgotten dreams

Grimly fiendish
We'll send you just where you belong
Where the children can't be found

Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy

Hide and seek tried so hard
And justify that crime could pay
Just for today

Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
