Skyclad - Cardboard City слова песни
Hands locked in darkness - a nocturnal greetingWe flutter like moths round the brazier`s flameShrouded in shadow - our clandestine meetingHere where past and present are one and the same.No-one dies in Cardboard CityFaces only fade awayEat your pride and take their pityFight to live another day.And did those feet in ancient timesWalk bare upon these lonely streets like mine?Does God watch us from that penthouse high aboveHis children down below who live on air and love?Wrapped in old headlines beneath this shop awningI shiver in silence and wait for the morning.No-one cries in Cardboard CityThat would be a waste of tearsEat your pride and take their pityLike you have so many years.Youth of our nation - A lost generationLike lepers we march to the chimes of Big Ben.Exiled and rejected by powers electedOur cries from the gutter don`t reach number ten.Give us this day our daily breadBefore the headlines read "bring out your dead."Chip-wrapper flowers are blown onto this cardboard graveMy spray paint epitaph upon the wall it says..."Here lies the bones of some poor homeless vagrantHe died as he lived, in the shit on the pavement."No-one dies in Cardboard CityFaces only fade awayEat your pride and take their pityFight to live another day.No-one cries in Cardboard CityThat would be a waste of tearsEat your pride and take their pityLike you have so many years.
