Twist Of Barbwire
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.
I said I love you ’til you don’t know you’re born
I said I’d love you ’til the far side of dawn
But in the morning if you must leave
Don’t leave with your apologies
If you come back
If I liked you at all
Remember I liked you to fall on your knees
Liar liar you’re my last desire
Thought your kind of love was just a thorn of the rose
Tried hard to be faithful
Not hard enough I suppose
Tried hard to drown with a hum and a drum
In a pretty drug slum mire tried bearing your sighs
And your sneers and your frown
Tried wearing your jewels and your heels and your crown
But it was nothing but a twist of barbwire
It was nothing but a twist of barbwire
It was nothing but a twist of barbwire
See I promise I’ll be constantly clean
Did you think that I still say what I mean
Now you’re keening and you have to decide
Will you open your legs or your eyes
Or do you pray now ‘cos I pray all the time
As the soul can’t escape what the heart may disguise
Liar liar you’re my last desire
Thought your kind of love was just a thorn of the rose
Tried hard to be faithful
Not hard enough I suppose
Tried hard to drown with a hum and a drum
In a pretty drug slum mire tried bearing your sighs
And your sneers and your frown
Tried wearing your jewels and your heels and your crown
But it was nothing but a twist of barbwire
It was nothing but a twist of barbwire
It was nothing but a twist of barbwire
