lyrics

7. TAKE THE EDGE OFF
Took my hand in it's clenched fist walked me up to
your illustration of an overwhelming vista
Takes the edge of the words
that you were about to say
Throw your love to the cursing winds and piss the time up the wall
Soon we will pass away and what then?
Nothing

8. MARTHA
She was my Martha, my Alice, and my Kathleen
A rugged redemption had rose up in me
Alas, I was doomed from the outset
It starts at her house and takes me into town
I crumpled the paper on which I'd writ it down
The work of some prattish imposter
I was smitten for sure, did I think that aloud?
T'was insufferable, crushing and embarrassing now
You know that she turned out to be gay
Grabbing my tackle and take the bus into town
Grapple with bulls horns and fail to come down
In me there was nowt but a weakling
It's life as I know it and it's not so great
I struggle to work and I procrastinate
And now the train it is leaving
