Adhesive - Accident Waiting To Happen lyrics

rate me

[Originally by Billy Bragg]<br />

<br />

I've always been impressed with a girl<br />

Who could sing for her supper and get breakfast as well<br />

That's the way I am<br />

Heaven help me<br />

He said we don't like peace campaigners round here<br />

As he nailed another one to the wall<br />

And that's what gets me in trouble<br />

Heaven help me<br />

<br />

Goodbye and good luck<br />

To all the promises you've broken<br />

Goodbye and good luck<br />

To all the rubbish that you've spoken<br />

Your life has lost it's dignity<br />

It's beauty and it's passion<br />

You're an accident waiting to happen<br />

<br />

There you are standing at the bar<br />

And you're giving me grief about the DDR<br />

And that chip on your shoulder get bigger as you get older<br />

One of these nights you're gonna get caught<br />

It'll give you a pregnant pause for thought<br />

You're a dedicated swallower of fascism<br />

<br />

Time up and time out<br />

For all the liberties you've taken<br />

Time up and time out<br />

For all the friends that you've forsaken<br />

If you chose to waste away<br />

Like death is back in fashion<br />

You're an accident waiting to happen<br />

<br />

My sins are so unoriginal<br />

I have all the self loathing of a wolf in sheep's clothing<br />

In this carnival of carnivores<br />

Heaven help me
