You were born during a scare Well it changed how you grew Always fearing what's in the corner Keeping eye on the shadows til you became a man Well they turned out the lights Still you continued your work You must persist writing these sad songs Thinking that you'll trap all your bad luck within their rhymes Don't you know that songs only work When you realise the words You're unsure you'll settle the score on such terms Or could you believe the stories you tell? Can you believe them yourself?

Looking in the mirror The right shoulder Her initials inlaid a long time ago Cowered in the corner A week later Damned to remember the things that I've done He hears the raid alarm in the dead of night ring Wailing into feather and bone Keeping out the hum of the heavy shell Now back away slowly and keep your head down My girl, you're just like your grandmother (oh, I know) And she was all that I ever wanted (well, it shows) And here is the ring that I gave to her (oh, be still) Please see it returned to its true owner (well, I will) On the morning after The light breaking Dares to reveal a place in the wall Buried under mortar A red letter Lies there unopened, in spite of it all
