Lyrics
Up On The Down Side
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.
This England made me between the war and a rockets flying
You found the crib that saves me and teach me wrong and right
Then the world was talking, it never got its chance to say
When there's too much talking, nobody hears the words you say
You won't see, baby, now I want you
These blind communications only last throughout the year
And half of what we're saying is halfway in a truth
And blind communications for a million hearts and fools
I am a witness to a land of a million fools
All placing bets on life then hate the ones you lose
And all the lonely never get the chance to say
That their one and only would be the chance to even play
You won't see, baby, now I want you
These blind communications only last throughout the year
And half of what we're saying is halfway in a truth
And blind communications for a million hearts and fools
Hello, Monday, the week is just a blur
I've been burning bridges and now I'm begging at your door
So I keep on working, 'cause it's a chance for me to pay
But too much talking when you believe the words I say
You won't see, baby, now I want you
These blind communications only last throughout the year
And half of what we're saying is halfway in a truth
And blind communications for a million hearts and fools
