Divil the Bit by The Dudley Corporation Lyrics
The ink dries off and the words left permanent
The sentiment applies, but our motives are wasted
Time took a back seat to the hands that pushed us away
As we settled for less than our values belied
Our feet worn and ragged, from all the miles beneath us
Our tongues torn and tattered, from all the fights we've had to have
We never knew a limit, never drew ourselves a line
But the minutes were our guidance, and our tears were lined with smiles
Cradled
Arms held together like crayoned-in spider webs
Tangled
Our skin seems to scream like a heart attack carnival
Take my hand, I'll walk with you
I'll make you forget all the things
You hate about yourself and I'll
Start a million fights for you and make
You want my best ideas and take me home
So I'll take a deep breath
And I'll scream out your name
And I'll dance around the room
And I'll colour
In your laugh lines cos your smile has been dying
And I'll make up
Histories for us in diaries we'll never read
And the coastlines
That map your heart I'll wander forever
But it's freezing
In your own sadness when honesty takes over
The sentiment applies, but our motives are wasted
Time took a back seat to the hands that pushed us away
As we settled for less than our values belied
Our feet worn and ragged, from all the miles beneath us
Our tongues torn and tattered, from all the fights we've had to have
We never knew a limit, never drew ourselves a line
But the minutes were our guidance, and our tears were lined with smiles
Cradled
Arms held together like crayoned-in spider webs
Tangled
Our skin seems to scream like a heart attack carnival
Take my hand, I'll walk with you
I'll make you forget all the things
You hate about yourself and I'll
Start a million fights for you and make
You want my best ideas and take me home
So I'll take a deep breath
And I'll scream out your name
And I'll dance around the room
And I'll colour
In your laugh lines cos your smile has been dying
And I'll make up
Histories for us in diaries we'll never read
And the coastlines
That map your heart I'll wander forever
But it's freezing
In your own sadness when honesty takes over
