Ocean Colour Scene

You keep your pretty girls
Chained inside the dungeon
And diamonds and pearls
You keep them a'coming
Give them all of your affection

You keep your naughty boys
Locked inside the kitchen
And when they make a noise
A swish of your hand keeps them
Screaming out for your affection

I don't know the why's or wherefores
I don't what's wrong or right
I just know at night
You give them all of your affection

You keep your servants down
Swinging from the gallows
And when they come round
Oh you smile and you say hello
Give them all of your affection
You give them all of your affection
You give them all of your affection

Isolated junkyard
Letting out the garbage
Eating through the core of life
Sweet fragrance irritates
In a stale room death awaits
Persecute your own self pride
Suffocate the new high
Ride a thorny mule that cries
Dig your grave and jump right in
Like a Judas pay the price
Thirty pieces for a ride
Here's the fire now take a chew

Do yourself a favour
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Hey/Oh there ain't no time

Shredded know-how gives away
Species of the human race
Those funky winds of ups and downs
Hall of grit is known too well
Heaven still is your hell
Poison slowly slowly drowns
Let the devil step right in
Lucifer's your only friend
Ain't a soul gonna pity you
Hurdle over time to death
With open arms it waits I bet
Don't you wish you could reach ground

She never has to stop and think
Never makes you lose a thing
She is so enchanting
I always have to stop a while
Cross my hands and close my eyes
I am so demanding

When she smiles she opens wide
Touching you inside to lie
Life can be so shaking handed
Nervously you're shaking signs
Life is better taken blind
Still you're left so disenchanted

Giving it all away
Giving it all away

You always have to stop and think
Desperately to find something
That is even handed
I never want to think a thing
That shatters almost everything
Life can leave you hanging

Is she coming home, I'll leave the light on
But through times and space she'll go
If she's coming home she won't tell me
And I wonder if I should know

Wonder if I should feel something
Wonder if I should know
But it's dark in here

Tip-toe softly do not wake her
As she sleeps so very slow
Dim the light on her day-dream
But her dreams you'll never know

See her fading dress and frame it's colours
For a memory you'll long to know
Drape the covers in her bedroom
But life freezes with melting snow

Ah...is she coming home...

Every morning traffic
Every night I've had enough
Every day compromise
Life's no surprise after much

'Someday people' lock themselves away
Saving up for another empty
Penny pinching rainy heaven day

No-one talks at night
They scream and fight and say too much
My wife dreams all day
My life says it has heard enough

Rainy heaven days...
