[00:01.90]No Mercy for the Muse - Neil Halstead
[00:10.41]Shabby boy's kept you up all night
[00:14.34]
[00:15.65]Oh sentimental drinkers
[00:17.29]
[00:17.97]Sing songs that end in fights about fights
[00:21.09]
[00:26.09]And they'll swear to you
[00:28.91]That they just can't help it
[00:31.29]
[00:31.97]Know that poem in their head
[00:33.97]
[00:34.67]That painting of your bed it must out
[00:37.91]
[00:43.04]Does time stand still
[00:44.66]
[00:45.47]When you cross the room
[00:47.47]
[00:48.53]Oh, surely it must do
[00:51.66]
[00:53.78]When they write a song
[00:55.78]
[00:56.60]That goes on and on about you
[00:59.28]
[01:05.10]Does your golden hair fall in waves
[01:09.79]
[01:10.60]No mention of a spot
[01:12.78]
[01:13.54]Tantrum or tooth rot not for them
[01:16.91]
[01:22.03]Just pearly smiles and Mona Lisa wiles
[01:25.66]
[01:27.21]For your coterie of stars
[01:29.09]
[01:30.22]Your barrel of charlatans
[01:31.39]
[01:38.96]Celebrate and they will venerate
[01:42.58]
[01:44.08]Hold their heads in the morning glare
[01:48.08]
[01:49.77]For with some faint praise
[01:52.08]
[01:52.70]They will hold your gaze
[01:54.58]
[01:56.20]And dedicate it all to you
[01:59.14]
[02:01.76]Yeah dedicate it all to you
[02:04.89]
[02:32.52]Oh you live your life in black and white
[02:36.89]
[02:37.70]No subtlety for you no mercy for the muse
[02:42.64]
[02:43.77]It's true
[02:44.39]
[02:49.64]Come in again number 10
[02:53.57]
[02:54.45]Oh your army of typewriters
[02:56.38]
[02:57.64]Your consequence of biters won't last long
[03:01.02]
[03:06.64]And life will burden you not
[03:09.39]
[03:12.13]Love will carry on with a thrust
[03:15.33]
[03:17.76]And they'll swear to you
[03:20.33]That they just can't help it
[03:23.20]That poem in their head
[03:25.33]
[03:25.89]That painting of your bed
[03:28.02]
[03:28.70]It must out it must out
[03:35.26]
[03:41.13]Celebrate and they will venerate
[03:44.19]
[03:46.40]Hold their heads in the morning glare
[03:50.02]
[03:52.28]For with some faint praise
[03:54.40]
[03:54.96]They will hold your gaze
[03:57.27]
[03:58.84]And dedicate it all to you
[04:01.90]
[04:04.84]Yeah dedicate it all to you
[04:08.02]
[04:10.34]Yeah dedicate it all to you
