Loves The Greatest Instrument Of Rage by Thea Gilmore Lyrics
I heard the deal was done
That it was sealed last night
The red woman stood to take the oath
Lt wasn't front page news
She wasn't pretty
These days things are either nothing or they're both
Another sip of wine another card
And then I really have to leave
They saved my place in line
The ugly anodyne
To beg another's master for reprieve
Uhuhuhu uhuhuhu woho
Well is it just my ears
Or does that beat appear
Just a little quieter than before
I guess we knew the score
The centre couldn't hold
The ladies pearls will skid across the floor
It'll come from Albert Dock
It'll come from Tower Bridge
It'll grab our politicians by the balls
Our quiet stupor our broken culture
Our best defence is no defence at all
Uhuhuhu uhuhuhu woho
And you can call it progress
And you can call it foresight
Oh I don't know its name baby
But it keeps me up at night
And I'm sure there's something coming
I'm sure it will be soon
That the devils of our time will slouch
Across a blackened room
So take this epitaph
Take anything that's left
I don't want to be here
Come the day
I did my best you know
I tried to swim the tide
But I am just as guilty in my way
For every beaten brow
For every heaving chest
For every shaky word on every page
It’s taken 30 years
And a little pill to learn
That love's the greatest instrument of rage
It’s taken 30 years
And a little pill to learn
That love's the greatest instrument of rage
Uhuhuhu
Uhuhuhuhuhuhuhu
Uhuhuhuhuhuhuhu
Uhuhuhu woho woho
That it was sealed last night
The red woman stood to take the oath
Lt wasn't front page news
She wasn't pretty
These days things are either nothing or they're both
Another sip of wine another card
And then I really have to leave
They saved my place in line
The ugly anodyne
To beg another's master for reprieve
Uhuhuhu uhuhuhu woho
Well is it just my ears
Or does that beat appear
Just a little quieter than before
I guess we knew the score
The centre couldn't hold
The ladies pearls will skid across the floor
It'll come from Albert Dock
It'll come from Tower Bridge
It'll grab our politicians by the balls
Our quiet stupor our broken culture
Our best defence is no defence at all
Uhuhuhu uhuhuhu woho
And you can call it progress
And you can call it foresight
Oh I don't know its name baby
But it keeps me up at night
And I'm sure there's something coming
I'm sure it will be soon
That the devils of our time will slouch
Across a blackened room
So take this epitaph
Take anything that's left
I don't want to be here
Come the day
I did my best you know
I tried to swim the tide
But I am just as guilty in my way
For every beaten brow
For every heaving chest
For every shaky word on every page
It’s taken 30 years
And a little pill to learn
That love's the greatest instrument of rage
It’s taken 30 years
And a little pill to learn
That love's the greatest instrument of rage
Uhuhuhu
Uhuhuhuhuhuhuhu
Uhuhuhuhuhuhuhu
Uhuhuhu woho woho
