lyrics

This behaviour has become a cause for concern.
No penetrating cursive ever delved quite as deep as you did -
found fault in every good intention, believed the worst of everyone.
It’s incidental now of course and certainly all best forgotten,
but for those of us who still bear
the scars and can’t shake the memories,
it never was that simple.

Are these just stories or lessons laid out before us,
like warnings that we ignore?

Came back round for a rematch -
Yeah, you really had ‘em swinging.
Pulled punches and you threw feints,
anything to hold your place - anything to prosper.
Thought we’d seen the back of you, run out of town on a rail.
A blackened name and feet in rags, wanted posters and toe tags –
Oh, what a calamity…

Are these just stories or lessons laid out before us,
like warnings that we ignore?
So it’s not over, those kind words
don’t grant us comfort or closure - we need more.

Footprints on the rocks, these generational scars we’ve come to love.
Complacency reigns – so good effort, nice try, but case closed.
We’re bracing for the finisher,
ecstatic in our ignorance,
compulsive when it comes to love.
