Lyrics
Sucrose
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.
Take a short, take a short change.
Taken time, time to rearrange.
Slowly does, slowly does good.
Hurt if I, hurt if I could.
Take another shortcut.
Figure out the place to be.
What's another ?
When you're paying worms for free.
What's the word, what's the word gone
Over up, over up ??
Get in line, be in time, start.
Show me what, show me what you've got.
Have you ever earned it?
Pleasantries and drink for thought.
What's another set up?
Elevate from what you're not.
So son..
Shut up.
Take a motion.
You're satisfied when I have tried.
No one has it all inside.
So, shut up.
No one's watching.
Take on board what you have scored.
Second chances find you floored.
Sat sitting on the fence.
Not furious with suspense.
Quick call it by the seam.
Sick, quietly obscene.
Never could forgive it.
Fallen for the other side.
Never could admit it.
Fallen for forgotten pride.
So son..
Shut up.
Take a motion.
You're satisfied when I have tried.
No one has it all inside.
So, shut up.
No one's watching
Take on board what you have scored.
Second chances find you floored.
They've caught us cool.
Insubstantial info fools.
Joining them in their own fun.
Watching favours all the time.
Fortune is as fortune does.
Line up, line up, without us.
We'll take our chances, take our gain.
Take it, take it
