Gilding The Lily
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Reading left to right
Waiting for the fight scene
(I think that I'm just what I need)
I headed for a vice
Two lovers and a knife without a tree
(Seemingly so)
Sweet, you need
To take some time away
To take some time away
Shake without a sound
Our feet are safer on the ground
You keep your wits about you when I'm around
Shake without a sound
Our feet are safer on the ground
Past the point of poetry now
Gilding the lily
It's hard for you to wear this kind of shame
(I think that I'm just what I need)
And to boot, in such an ugly shade
(Seemingly so)
Sweet, you'll need
To take some time away
To take some time away
Shake without a sound
Our feet are safer on the ground
You keep your wits about you when I'm around
Shake without a sound
Our feet are safer on the ground
Past the point of poetry now
Gilding the lily
A violet needs perfume
Like a crown of gold needs more jewels
But we need time
Shake without a sound
Your feet are safer on the ground
You keep your wits about you when I'm around
Take some time away
Say you wouldn't like it anymore
Than if I'd stick around to gild the lily
