Roches - The Bearer Of Bad News lyrics

rate me

I stand off to one side<br />

Counting the casualties<br />

As you will see in the morning the newspapers lied<br />

Difficult to say the truth in times like these.<br />

You are over there at the center<br />

The look on your face at the point of collision<br />

Once you've left you can never re-enter<br />

With your heart your soul and your vision.<br />

The light that's shining in<br />

Comes through a tear in the fabric<br />

That used to be your skin<br />

You need some heavyweight abracadabra<br />

But it's too late for who's whose<br />

Too soon for the long term blues<br />

Lord let me stand in another man's shoes<br />

Somebody who's not bringing this news.<br />

Yesterday brought a market correction<br />

We all sat around the house and pitched a bitch<br />

You called your man in the Caribbean the Jamaican connection<br />

It was a minor cut but we had to have it stitched<br />

And our little devil was naughty<br />

Again and again he swore hard<br />

We got over the fact we're forty<br />

All those little toys strewn around the backyard
