The Beautiful South - The Table слова песни
(Heaton/Rotheray)This table has four sturdy legsAnd a heart of very near wild oakWhen others would have screamed out loud my friendThis one never even spokeI`ve been sat upon, I`ve been spat uponI`ve been treated like a bedBeen carried like a stretcher,when someone thinks they`re deadI`ve been dined upon, I`ve been wined uponI`ve been taken for a foolTaken for a desk,when they should have been at schoolThis table`s been pushed against the doorWhen tempers, well tempers flare at nightBanged upon with knuckles clenched my friendWhen someone thinks that they are rightI`ve been sat upon, I`ve been spat uponI`ve been treated like a bedBeen carried like a stretcher,when someone thinks they`re deadI`ve been dined upon, I`ve been wined uponI`ve been taken for a foolTaken for a desk,when they should have been at schoolTables only turn when tables learnPut me on a bonfire, watch me burnTreat me with some dignity, don`t treat me like a slaveOr I`ll turn into the coffin in your graveI`ve been sat upon, I`ve been spat uponI`ve been treated like a bedBeen carried like a stretcher,when someone thinks they`re deadI`ve been dined upon, I`ve been wined uponI`ve been taken for a foolTaken for a desk,when they should have been at schoolTables only turn when tables learnPut me on a bonfire, watch me burnTreat me with some dignity, don`t treat me like a slaveOr I`ll turn into the coffin in your grave
