lyrics
Value The One You Love
‘Here we are,’ she said, ‘do you value the one you love?
Don’t hang about, trying to save me.’
‘Here we are,’ she said, ‘do you value the one you love?’
And this irritates me, it bores and it bothers me.
So you wake up with the Sun, but it’s cold and you want to know why.
So you swear at the Sun and it burns your tongue dry.
You say your words like they’re the smartest thing you’ve ever heard.
Well this condition is mine, I don’t care for yours so don’t bother mine.
And you wake up with the Sun, but it’s cold and you want to know why.
So you swear at the Sun and it burns, burns your tongue dry.
‘Keep your head clean’
Came a filthy voice and I couldn’t see.
‘Without these scattered, tattered, ladders I am lost!
I’m lost so please don’t leave me here!
Without these scattered, tattered ladders I am lost!’
‘Keep your head clean.’
‘Without these scattered, tattered ladders I am lost!
I’m lost so please don’t leave me here!
Without these scattered, tattered ladders I am lost!
Alone, alone, alone, alone.’
‘Here we are,’ she said, ‘do you value the one you love?
Don’t hang about, trying to save me.’
‘Here we are,’ she said, ‘do you value the one you love?’
And this irritates me, it bores and it bothers me.
So you wake up with the Sun, but it’s cold and you want to know why.
So you swear at the Sun and it burns your tongue dry.
You say your words like they’re the smartest thing you’ve ever heard.
Well this condition is mine, I don’t care for yours so don’t bother mine.
And you wake up with the Sun, but it’s cold and you want to know why.
So you swear at the Sun and it burns, burns your tongue dry.
‘Keep your head clean’
Came a filthy voice and I couldn’t see.
‘Without these scattered, tattered, ladders I am lost!
I’m lost so please don’t leave me here!
Without these scattered, tattered ladders I am lost!’
‘Keep your head clean.’
‘Without these scattered, tattered ladders I am lost!
I’m lost so please don’t leave me here!
Without these scattered, tattered ladders I am lost!
Alone, alone, alone, alone.’
