One To My Left

Did you ever have to do the thing you swore you'd never do
Something filthy and impatient, something churlish bold and shrewd
Well sit down my boy and I'll tell you exactly how I crawled right through
Gather in your confidence and hear the story of a man who came undone

First you weigh up your commitments where your loyalties really lie
And if you bump into Jesus you just look him in the eye
Tell him that you're fine silently return to sharpening your knife
Finally when the time comes think of who you really need
And close your eyes so tightly you think they'll bleed

Don't drop your guard don't let them know the thoughts inside your head
Just do what you've always done though they all wish you were dead
they'll crush your heart your spirit and your soul but keep your eyes ahead
And you know when the time comes there'll be nowhere new to hide
He'll just be in your heart and you'll lose pride

Never break the line
Never click your heels in time
If your heart's anything like mine that's not the way
Don't get comfortable down there
Don't pretend that it's always fair
With your fingers crossed it's not your loss
If you really want to you can stay
You can stay

Don't drop your guard don't let them know the thoughts inside your head
Just do what you've always done though they all wish you were dead
They'll crush your heart your spirit and your soul but keep your eyes ahead
And some day when your bone's breaking you don't know gifts from theft
Drink yourself away one to my left

Never break the line
Never click your heels in time
If your heart's anything like mine that's not the way
Don't get comfortable down there
Don't pretend that it's always fair
With your fingers crossed it's not your loss
If you really want to you can stay
You can stay
