Lyrics

Kow Tow

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.

And I just don't do things by halves

So come now please don't make me laugh

The wicked lay stones in my path

And friends who are snakes in the grass

I felt the warmth of you in summer days gone by

The waves they rock the boat

You smiled at me and closed your eyes

I won't bow down, I won't kow tow

Won't be seen to, won't be lied to

I won't turn tail, won't be blackmailed by you

And I can see through you like glass

So come now please don't make me laugh

I hear the country church bells ring for you

I see the church choir rise and sing for you

But I'll be leaving soon, I'm off at high noon

I've got a heavy heart, we touch a long past

I won't bow down, I won't kow tow

Won't be seen to, won't be lied to

I won't turn tail, won't be blackmailed

But if you think of me

Think something sweet of me

I look around in rage

There's nothing left

There's nothing saved

Some memories, a photograph

The future looms, so damn the past

I don't want you, I don't need you

I won't bow down, I won't kow tow

I won't turn tail, I won't be blackmailed

Won't be seen to, won't be lied to

Ohh, ooh, ooh
