Scritti Politti - After Six Lyrics

Scritti Politti Lyrics

"After Six"

Please, keep your love away from me
Jesus, keep your hands where I can see
There's nobody here you can trust
Oh, I'll break every bone if I must
Oh, wisdom, keep your hands away from me

Mercy, turn your eyes away from me
Truth, shine your light where I can't see
They all practice here to deceive
I killed them before I believe
Oh, Jesus, keep your love away from me

"How far," they asked, "How far?"
As far north as Elizabeth
Justice, take this sword and cut them down, oh down
Oh, Jesus, keep your love away from me

"How far," they asked, "How far?"
As far away as here and now
