Richard Thompson Sweet Warrior She Sang Angels To Rest Out in the desert there's a soldier lying dead Vultures pecking the eyes out of his head Another day that could have been me there instead Nobody loves me here Nobody loves me here 'Dad's gonna kill me 'Dad's gonna kill me You hit the booby trap and you're in pieces With every bullet your risk increases Old Ali Baba, he's a different species Nobody loves me here Nobody loves me here 'Dad's gonna kill me 'Dad's gonna kill me I'm dead meat in my HUMV Frankenstein I hit the road block somehow I never hit the mine The dice were rolled and I got lucky this time 'Dad's gonna kill me 'Dad's gonna kill me I got a wife, a kid, another on the way I might get home if I can live through today Before I came out here I never used to pray Nobody loves me here Nobody loves me here 'Dad's gonna kill me 'Dad's in a bad mood, 'Dad's got the blues It's someone else's mess that I didn't choose At least we're winning on the Fox evening news Nobody loves me here Nobody loves me here 'Dad's gonna kill me 'Dad's gonna kill me Dawn patrol went out and didn't come back Hug the wire and pray like I told you Mac Or they'll be shovelling bits of you into a sack 'Dad's gonna kill me 'Dad's gonna kill me Who's that stranger walking in my dreams who's that stranger casts a shadow 'cross my heart Who's that stranger, I dare speak his name Must be your death a-walking Must be your death a-walking 'Dad's gonna kill me Seven muzzle monkeys standing in a row Standing waiting for that sandbox to blow Sitting targets in the wild west show Nobody loves me here Nobody loves me here 'Dad's gonna kill me 'Dad's gonna kill me Another angel got his wings this week Charbroiled with his own Willie Pete No one's dying if you speak double speak 'Dad's gonna kill me 'Dad's gonna kill me 'Dad's gonna kill me ~ She Sang Angels To Rest She charmed from my cocoon She eclipsed the sun and the moon All of that summer my feet never walked on the earth. She sang angels to rest She sang angels to rest How do you fall when you already fell for the best? She had that smile on her face When her thoughts were of some other place All of that summer my feet never walked on the earth. She sang angels to rest She sang angels to rest How do you fall when you already fell for the best? She'd give that look in her eyes Like she'd seen a ghost going by All of that summer my feet never walked on the earth. She sang angels to rest She sang angels to rest How do you fall when you already fell? How do you love when your heart isn't well? How do you fall when you already fell for the best? ~ Sunset Song With you or without you love I must be moving Never meant to linger here so long With you or without you know it breaks my heart To hear the sunset song, to hear the sunset song Wasn't that a time we had and bless you for it But I'm a stranger here I don't belong The band's down on the jetty, if you cup your ear You'll hear the sunset song, you'll hear the sunset song You said if I held my breath, dived down deep enough I might grow fins Seems to me I held my breath, held my breath to please you ever since, ever since Early morning that's the time for fare-thee-wells Slip out of the warm sheets and go But I want to hear it as I walk away To hear the sunset song, to hear the sunset song In your waking, in your dreams I'll not be martyred On that cross where some say I belong Opinions are coffins I'll just trust my feet To find the sunset song, to find the sunset song Every day I wear your memory like a favourite shirt upon my back In the hallway there's my suitcase by the door - I never did unpack, never did unpack With you or without you love I must be moving Never meant to linger here so long With you or without you know it breaks my heart To hear the sunset song, to hear the sunset song To hear the sunset song ~ JOHNNY'S FAR AWAY Johnny's joined a ceilidh band They're known quite well throughout the land: The Drones The Drones have signed upon a cruise And Tracy's laying in the booze back home She's got herself another man, a smoothy While the kids are in the front room watching movies She's got him in a headlock, in an armlock, in a jam She says I can't express myself with my old man While Johnny's far away on the rolling, rolling Johnny's far away on the rolling sea Johnny's far away on the rolling, rolling Johnny's far away on the rolling sea On the rolling sea On the rolling sea Johnny's cruising out to sea And he believes in chastity, for some The wealthy widows bill and coo He fends off one or two and then succumbs Well they're hard in pirate ports in the Bahamas He's turning her right out of her pyjamas He's turned her every which way, to the rhythm of the sea He says I can't express myself with my old lady While Johnny's far away on the rolling, rolling Johnny's far away on the rolling sea Johnny's far away on the rolling, rolling Johnny's far away on the rolling sea On the rolling sea On the rolling sea Johnny's home he opens up the door While someone's sneaking out the back And Tracy says you look so poorly, Sores and all, you ought to see the quack She wipes the kip from off the kiddies' noses And he charms her with eleven battered roses And by and by they get down to the job of man and wife Back to the old comforts of the missionary life While Johnny's far away on the rolling, rolling Johnny's far away on the rolling sea Johnny's far away on the rolling, rolling Johnny's far away on the rolling sea On the rolling sea On the rolling sea On the rolling sea On the rolling sea ~ POPPY RED Emma love used to lie Like a pearl by my side Everything sweet, everything so complete Emma love makes her bed The poppies grow over her head There in a field, there in a field Warm and red as the blood she shed Now everything is poppy red, poppy red Everything is poppy red in loving memory Everything is poppy red, poppy red Everything is poppy red The gift she gave to me In loving memory, memory, memory She said there's a wind that blows Where it blows from who knows? And if I don't go I'll never know peace of mind Everything's upside down Everything's turned around She was my first, she was my last She was my friend until the end Now everything is poppy red, poppy red Everything is poppy red in loving memory Everything is poppy red, poppy red Everything is poppy red The gift she gave to me In loving memory, memory, memory I'll always see her that way Dressed in that red white and grey Slowly she turned Slowly she turned Into the ring and walked away Now everything is poppy red, poppy red Everything is poppy red in loving memory Everything is poppy red, poppy red Everything is poppy red The gift she gave to me In loving memory, memory, memory, memory |
