singing knives - willi carlisle lyrics

to live without love is a knife in every direction
and when you touched me that night i saw lights and cold steel reflection
tell me: what’s the point of livin’ and feelin’ so loveless?
nothin’ helps me do a thing now, darlin’, i think i’m hopeless

’cause i worked at the foundry for six months
and i dated your friends, they’re all dumb punks
and the flowers in bloom and your cheap perfume
i thought it was too nice to mean much

well with jack or jim, or me or him, you used to spike your iced*tea
i used to show up late and stoned, just prayin’ you’d forgive me
and i clean up alright, though it’s not like you’d ever notice
nothin’ helps me hold a job down, darlin’, i think i broke this

’cause i don’t care to work on a sunday
i drug gravel for miles ‘cross some site
don’t tell me some loves take a backroad to town
you know i like to drive all night

well a poor boy findin’ you was like buyin’ a lottery ticket
and when you said i couldn’t hold you i told you we oughta forget it
and i don’t care to be happy, just don’t wanna let you down
i swear i don’t give a sh*t, no i spit when i pass your home town

’cause i’da waltzed at your sister’s wedding
i’da shook your father’s right hand
but a few scented candles and pictures on mantles
they don’t fix an angry young man
and it cuts to the bone, there’s a stone in my throat just to sing it
but i carved out a home of my own with no one’s forgiveness
when i close my eyes, i don’t try, but i still see you naked
and that wound was so raw that i thought that we could still make it
