lirik lagu housemaid’s knees – lost crowns
no light shone there, none switched on there
i kneel there like this
with prayer-like hands that writhe and plead
can’t undo them, no blood through them
i’m pale-fisted, hunched and twisted, bent and swollen-kneed
every vision i’ve seen of what’s past and been
i’ve found so alarming my joints i’ve been harming
everything that i’ve felt, all this time i’ve dwelt on
forces that blight us has brought be bursitis
i can’t remember what’s wrong
i’ve been down here too long
world’s weight bearing, hair-shirt wearing
low hang head down, hot coal tread down, someone hear my plea
crushed gl-ss crawling, on sword falling
someone shift me, please uplift me, someone cure my knee
i’ve been tugging at hair
and wondering where these cold draughts have come from
these ones i grow numb from
been through everything twice, ignored all advice
and can’t shake this feeling so just keep on kneeling
i can’t recall what regret
i came here to forget
begging you forgive me please
i’ve been down here so long that
i’ve ended up with housemaid’s knees
can’t get back this time i’ve spent peering through keyholes
all pure black, they’re just painted on, they can’t be holes
tell the world i’ll do no wrong
on this rack i’ll lay back and
soon i’ll be 8, 9, 10 feet long
belive my claim
waited here but no-one came
all the same it’s my favourite ending
i’m standing still
won’t proceed but someone will
i’m here till it’s my favourite ending
forgive me please
ended up with housemaid’s knees
out of these it’s my favourite ending
there’s nothing left, i can’t hold on
everything’s broken or gone
all you said came true
there’s no more we can do
now somebody’s taken my chair
now i can’t even sit there
since i wrote this verse it’s all got even worse
where i walk like a trail of chalk
it’s all drawn out behind me
let’s agree that they won’t be needing dna to find me
