Truth Begins
This is where the truth begins
Where teardrops glance the sallow skin
You lose your will
And I can lend you mine
The Westway wall’s
So tall and bleak
Reflect the words we dare not speak
By the bottle’s end
We may have done our time
What you want is to stay away from people like me
Who twist most everything they see
And leave the grey old world behind you
So sow it up have some clout
We’ll go to mine and fall about
The sun will shine again tomorrow
Look beyond the parapet
We are just bums lest you forget
We can beg, steal and borrow
So you say this pill will sort me out
Embolden me against the manifestations of fear and doubt
I just forgot who I used to be
And now I’m strung somewhere between a dream
And the humdrum day to day routine
There’s a wreath on the door to my heart
What you want is to wash your face and try to breathe
Wipe your mind and click your heels so that you can see
And leave the grey old world behind you
So sow it up kid have no doubt
We’ll do some wine and fuck about
The sun will shine again tomorrow
All the friends you haven’t met
Some you’ll love and some forget
Just hold on for tomorrow
So here’s to now
And all the...hearts we tried
That make a brand new start
Let the fabric never tear us apart
So now I move
And if you’re in
It wouldn’t hurt just to give it a try and win
Don’t forget who you used to be
What you want is to get a bike and do wheelies
I bet you can’t do them half as good as me
Throw it out, what is over is over
So sow it up kid have some clout
We’ll have some wine and fuck about
The sun will shine again tomorrow
All the friends you haven’t met
Some you’ll love and some forget
Just hold on for tomorrow
So sow it up kid have some clout
We’ll go to mine and fall about
The sun will shine again tomorrow
For all the friends you’ve not yet met
Some would die for you I’d bet
Just hold on for tomorrow
