Ed Harcourt - Scatterbraine lyrics
rate meScatterbraine, they smoked you out of the foxhole
Scatterbraine, you act like a priest in a brothel
Naive charm, the idiot boy from the farm
Father tried to save you with prayers and psalms
Grace and Lydia and Dorothy
The village idiot sent them to sleep
Policeman O'Riley cannot believe
That someone so dumb could be still
On the run from the law
Scatterbraine, the strength of an ox on cocaine
Scatterbraine, are mother and father to blame?
He's not insane, just a boy who goes searching for treasure
Sunshine, rain, he'll find it whatever the weather
Grace and Lydia and Dorothy
The village idiot sent them to sleep
Policeman O'Riley cannot believe
That someone so dumb could be still
On the run from the law
This ain't no fairytale for you to cheer
Some thing's ugly in the atmosphere
This ain't no fairytale for you to cheer
Some thing's ugly in the atmosphere
And his name is Scatterbraine
And his name is Scatterbraine
