Sugar Army - Hooks For Hands lyrics

rate me

I am alive, but in steady decline

I am conspicuous in more ways than one.

And if you pick at the flesh from these ageing bones

You'll see I'm not senseless

I've discovered it's easy to indulge those who like to pretend

I've locked horns with the lost and the lonely

I've been discreet just to keep the peace

It's all just a game that you have to play

To avoid the more self righteous

And there's never been any cause for alarm or disdain

Since I've discovered it's easy

To indulge those who like to pretend

Chorus:

When you got hooks for hands

The more good fortune that you have

When you got hooks for hands

The more good fortune that you have

When you got hooks for hands

The more good fortune that you have

That you have!

I've had to compete with the street meat

I've gotten down with the hounds in the sketchy little town

All in the name of financial game

It's a good thing I'm eager to please!

If there's a lesson to be learned from dealing with the strange

I've discovered it's easy

To indulge those who like to pretend

Chorus:

When you got hooks for hands

The more good fortune that you have

When you got hooks for hands

The more good fortune that you have

When you got hooks for hands

The more good fortune that you have

That you have!

So lets just hope my appetite will never lead me into the shadows

To have come this far on a whim must be some kind of small miracle

A miracle!

When you got hooks for hands,

The more good fortune that you have

Chorus:

When you got hooks for hands

The more good fortune that you have

When you got hooks for hands

The more good fortune that you have

When you got hooks for hands

The more good fortune that you have

That you have!
