the ballad of ricki tarr - soft covers lyrics

[verse 1]
guess i should have seen right through
your cordial lies and promises
silly of me to assume
you’d put love before duty

[verse 2]
but i guess that’s come back to
bite you hard and cruelly
you’re still going home to anne
tonight

[verse 3]
when i spied her through those windows
knew there was more than what i saw
instinct you never deign to follow
’cause you’re not out here any more

[chorus]
all you had to say is that she was dead
would have helped you anyway
i’ve been out here scalpin’ heads
so you can say you saved thе day
lived the life of a lonеly man
did all the things that you wouldn’t do
i’m beginnin’ to understand
why my happy ending’s fallin’ through
[verse 4]
she was young and beautiful
put her life in my bl**dy hands
i’d have done anything
to win

[verse 5]
she knew the risks and so did i
but love will give you confidence
it makes me sick to know why
we never stood a single chance

[chorus]
all you had to say is that she was dead
would have helped you anyway
i’ve been out here scalpin’ heads
so you can say you saved the day
lived the life of a lonely man
did all the things that you wouldn’t do
i’m beginnin’ to understand
why my happy ending’s fallin’ through

[bridge]
i know his living ghost still haunts you
but now you’re haunting those that you’ve kept close
how does it feel to sit behind the wheel
with those pompous glasses resting on your nose?
[chorus]
all you had to say is that she was dead
would have helped you anyway
i’ve been out here scalpin’ heads
so you can say you saved the day
lived the life of a lonely man
did all the things that you wouldn’t do
i’m beginnin’ to understand
why my happy ending’s fallin’ through
