Ted Leo & The Pharmacists - Gimme The Wire lyrics

rate me

Oh, temple darling

You have made my life so neat

But a dirty old death

Still waits in the bridle suite

And oh, oh, I can't see around that bend

Whoa, oh, in the end they put my head in a box

And then they give me the wire

They're gonna give me the wire

They're gonna give me the wire

They're gonna give me the wire

Oh, temple dear

I don't mean to be a thankless boor

Ah, but as bad as its been

I think I'd still rather have taken more

So, oh, as you've eased my way, my friend

Whoa, oh, won't you watch them put my head in a box

And watch them give me the wire?

Watch them give me the wire

So, oh, as you've eased my way my friend

Whoa, oh, won't you watch them put my head in a box

And watch them give me the wire?

Watch them give me the wire

They're gonna give me the wire

They're gonna give me the wire
