The Saddest Orchestra (It Only Plays For You)
Your rating:
He's a shot at sculpture He's a death conductor And his only score is burning So they hit the door drums And joint the score down It's a wideless dead end summer Like a violin scray Like the hiss of a tank Only sounds are nerving And it needs us the most 'cause it feeds off the host And it softly stays disturbing [Chorus] Here's a ticket for the front row view The saddest Orchestra, it only plays for you Ever o sadly, ever so slightly out of tune Ever o sadly, ever so slightly out of tune Have some ships in the night Not an end in sight And were stuck in uncharted waters So you shrink in your chair As it resolves nowhere And it ends in quiet disorder [Chorus] There is no beauty in here We keep our hands in the dirt Don't need to say any prayer Say any poem you like I need you in good or bad I need you in sickness and health There is no beauty in here I don't want anyone else Ever o sadly, ever so slightly out of tune Ever o sadly, ever so slightly out of tune

You should probably actually read the lyrics on the CD before posting what you think they are on a lyrics website. Edfan is also wrong. The lyrics are on the album.
The real lyrics are as follows:
Now the fat cats are crying over wasted milk
And the trees are bending over to make room for the moon
Put a plague on the house of cards they built
There's a ship on the horizon with a menacing metal harpoon
Do as I say, not as I do
Do as I say, not as I do
Vice is a virtue with cameras and curfews
Little scaremongers of impending doom
Political medusas make us stare like statues
Empty all the pockets of the victims of the baby boom
Do as I say, not as I do
Why should we listen to you?
Do as I say, not as I do
Oh to all the people that I might have offended
It wasn't that intended I hope we can amend it
Do as I say, not as I do
Oh to all the people that I might have offended
You probably needed it, so take your cake and eat it
When we were the bright sparks
Firing off the circuits in the right parts
Flicking every switch, blasting holes right through your blood clots
Swimming through the red cells that bind me to you
If we hit the ice age
Should we start again or turn the next page
Picking up a pick-axe, playing harps like a ribcage
Shaking off the cobwebs that keep me from you
Do as I say, not as I do
Do as I say, not as I do
Oh to all the people that I might have offended
You probably needed it, so take your cake and eat it
Why should we listen to you
Why should we listen to you
Do as I say, not as I do
Do as I say, not as I do
