Molotov Jive - Song For The Fallen Apart lyrics

rate me

The first day of spring blew the heaviest wind

And the mothers with dead eyes had minds full of sin

And the oak tree fell over our street

So they came and cut down all of the trees

It was so strange with nothing but leaves in the park

That week

When the oak tree fell over our street

And the principals' daughter in the dress that he

Bought her

She sucked in the smoke from the lips of her lover

These years they're just passing so fast

And if you stop to think about them they'll all have

Passed

And only the saddest of memories seem good enough to be

Real

Well at least now you know how I feel

When she's alone and she's thinking of you

And she's spilling her memories like salt in the wounds

And it cuts like a knife, a thorn in her side

You're burning your life on both ends of the candle

And they always said you were all blade no handle

It's back to the start, a shot in the dark

A song for the fallen apart

You see all them people that you used to know

They are long gone moved out and have lives of their

Own

And you promised they'd never go far

As you were sneering at them from the back of the car

And you thought you would stay young as long as you

Were chasing the dream

But you started to feel old at nineteen

When she's alone and she's thinking of you

And she's spilling her memories like salt in the wounds

And it cuts like a knife, a thorn in her side

You're burning your life on both ends of the candle

And they always said you were all blade no handle

It's back to the start, a shot in the dark

A song for the fallen apart

She's got numbers of pages on the back of her hand

And she claims that her family goes right back to

Abraham,

Not believing in luck

No she never worries cos it's all in the book

But the reverends eyes are on fire in the church while

He's clearing his throat

Forgive me, that's all that she wrote

You speak like someone who's got something to say

And you've always been planning on leaving someday

But at the end of the line you were scared of what

You'd find

So you're taking these words and you sing like you know

It

With faces and manors of rock'n'roll poets,

It's back to the start, a shot in the dark

A song for the fallen apart

A song for the fallen apart

A song for the fallen apart

A song for the fallen apart
