I hand you my ball and chain
You just hand me that same old refrain I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire And I'm falling I wish I could please you tonight But my medicine just won't come right I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire And I'm falling Too many steps to take Too many spells to break Too many nights awake And no one else This grindstone's wearing me Your claws are tearing me Don't use me endlessly It's too long, too long to myself Where's the justice and where's the sense? When all the pain is on my side of the fence I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire And I'm falling Too many steps to take Too many spells to break Too many nights awake And no one else This grindstone's wearing me Your claws are tearing me Don't use me endlessly It's too long, it's too long to myself It scares you when you don't know Whichever way the wind might blow I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire And I'm falling I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire And I'm falling I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire And I'm falling ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By RICHARD THOMPSON <i>Lyrics © BUG MUSIC</i> |

I packed my rags, went down the hill Left my dependents a-lying still Just as the dawn was rising up I was making good speed I left a letter lying on the bed From a man in need, it read You know it's so hard, It's so hard to find Well, well, well. Who's going to cure the heart of a man in need? All of my friends don't comprehend me Their kind of style it just offends me I want to take 'em, I want to shake 'em 'Till they pay me some heed Oh, you've got to ride in one direction Until you find the right connection You know it's so hard, So, so, so, so Well, well. Who's going to cure the heart of a man in need? Who's going to give you real happiness? Who's going to give you contentedness? Who's going to lead you? Who's going to feed you? And cut you free? Well I've sailed every ship in the sea But I travelled this world in misery You know it's so hard, So hard, so hard Well, well. Who's going to cure the heart of a man in need? Well who's going to shoe your feet? Ah who's going to pay your rent? And who's going to stand by you? Well, well, well, well Who's going to cure the heart of a man in need? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Of a man in need |

Those backstreet women, watch what you say
You turn your back and they slide away They run next door, they give it all away Doing the slide The backstreet slide, the backstreet slide They're gonna get you, dead or alive Stab you in the back with a kitchen knife Doing the backstreet slide Do it all day, the backstreet slide Gatemouth woman leaning on the fence She's got no teeth, she's got no sense You don't need much intelligence Doing the slide The backstreet slide, the backstreet slide They're gonna get you, dead or alive Stab you in the back with a kitchen knife Doing the backstreet slide Do it all day, the backstreet slide Slide over here, slide over there Spreading that scandal everywhere Stab you in the back and they just don't care Doing the slide Now slander is a loving tongue They speak your name to everyone Never is a curse left unsung Doing the slide The backstreet slide, the backstreet slide They're gonna get you, dead or alive Stab you in the back with a kitchen knife Doing the backstreet slide Do it all day, the backstreet slide The backstreet slide, the backstreet slide They're gonna get you, dead or alive Stab you in the back with a kitchen knife Doing the backstreet slide Do it all day, the backstreet slide ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By THOMPSON <i>Lyrics © BUG MUSIC</i> |
