PLACE IN THE SHADE
WELL I WAS BLIND AND YOU WERE KIND BUT YOU WERE BLIND AS WELL
WE BOTH WERE OLD OUR HAIR HAD TURNED GOLD BUT THERE WAS NO WAY WE COULD TELL
STRANGE GUY CAME BY OFFERED TO WIPE OUR EYES WITH WATER FROM SOME HOLY WELL
WELL HE RESTORED OUR SIGHT GAVE US SUCH A FRIGHT
WE WERE BOTH AS UGLY AS HELL
NOW AFTER A TIME WE AGAIN WERE BLIND AS HAPPY AS ONLY FOOLS COULD BE
IT WAS BEGINNING TO RAIN HE TURNED UPM AGAIN TO RELIEVE OUR MISERY
HE STOOD OUTSIDE IN A LOUDVOICE HE CRIED I VE COME TO RESTORE THY SIGHT TO THEE
AHHMMM NO THANK YOU IF ITS ALL THE SAME WE D RATHER REMAIN IGNORANT IN PEACE
THE PURSUIT OF PRESTIGE BRINGS ME TO MY KNEES ALONG WITH THE REST
THE GREEDY TAKE IT ALL LEAVE YA WHATS LEFT OH YEAH THEN TELL YOU ITS FOR THE BEST
SHARKS IN THE SEA SWIMMING ROUND ME DON T KNOW HOW I M GONNA SURVVIVE
I HEAR THE ROAR FROM THEIR STOCK MARKET FLOOR IS THIS A GOOD TIME TO BE ALIVE
I SEE A MAN HOLDING HOPE IN HIS HAND TRYING TO STOP IT FADING AWAY
SO LONG S I COMPLAIN I LL REMAIN TAME SO I LOOK FOR THIS PLACE IN THE SHADE
NEON SIGNS BRIGHTLY BURN INTO YOUR MIND TILL YOU RE JUST LIKE ANY OTHER FISH ON A HOOK
THERES ALWAYS A BAIT TO SUIT
BUT I LL NEVER LEAVE YA NEVER LEAVE YA YOU LL HAVE TO CHASE ME AWAY
BUT DON T YOU LAUGH IT COULD COME ONE OF THESE DARK DAYS
WE COME TOGETHER IN ALL KINDS OF WEATHER AND ITS SO HOT TODAY
SO HOLD YOUR TONGUE MY DARLING ONE TILL I FIND US THIS PLACE IN THE SHADE
FOR LOVES STILL THE ONE THING THAT EASES MY MIND I LOOK FOR LOVE AND WHAT DO I FIND ITS DRIFTING BACK IN ON THE TIDE ..
