"Slippin' Shoes" lyrics
"Slippin' Shoes"
I was feeling raped by my desire to give
So much that I had to lose
But giving isn't something you can choose
When time lies bare
Hey, we could put on our shoes
We can celebrate while our hearts break and go laughing through that noose
Hey, we could put our shoes back on
And trample down the flowers that grow on the ones we loved
I hear you fell off your shoes
Running into town there was so much you had to do
In a crowded station too
Crying on your knees
Hey, we could put on our shoes
We can celebrate while our hearts break and go laughing through that noose
Hey, we could put our shoes back on
And trample down the flowers that grow on the ones we loved
Running, running, running into that blue
Dancing, dancing, dancing the party through
It's a party for our demise
Hey, we could put on our shoes
We can celebrate while our hearts break and go laughing through that noose
Hey, we could put our shoes back on
And trample down the flowers that grow on the ones we loved
Hey, we could melt them down for glue
Those horses that once carried our dreamings in that same old blue

Down among the fishes in an absence of sound...
The Divine Comedy - "A Lady Of A Certain Age" Back in the day you had been part of the smart set
You'd holidayed with kings, dined out with starlets

Baxter Dury - "Afternoon" Do you remember when we were younger those days?
She slept with him that's what they say
And I borrowed my love from those days
Broken all those hearts, same way
Do remember when, you just let...
Rufus Wainwright - "Out Of The Game" I’m out of the game
I’ve been out for a long time now
I’m lookin’ for something
That can’t be found on the main drag, no
I’m out of the game
