Little Wonder
Lyricist:Glenn Anthony Richards
Well, it's my very little wonder, it's one that I will keep You can take it with you if it helps you when you're trying to sleep And the men who are a cut above today are often not so very deep Young ladies of means will say, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am Sittin' on the edges of their seats on the light rail tram Amongst the could-a-beens, also rans
It's very little wonder if you cry, it's very little wonder you don't cry The birds were framed, babies were framed, so too the black sky
You can't hear the ready laughter in my song When I was laughing all day yesterday and all night along Till we shook off the fears, had us both in tears O brother, don't clean out your ears and you might be amazed To find the secrets of the city in its alley ways In the bins behind the swill cafes Amid the clean-picked chicken bones and cartilage a spirit groans Small heartbeats and a red beak groans O pity, where's my little body gone?
You'll know why it's very little wonder, you don't cry Don't be ashamed of a guilty little rain, don't be ashamed It's just the drink, it's just the drink, it's just the drink Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
One marks a place, one makes a time One stops a living and one goes about dying
Somebody blew their brains out in this room I can feel it like it happened just this afternoon On the wall behind some furniture there's a stain in a shape of Africa O fear walks tall, when it's halfway up the hill with its friend alcohol I could hear the heavy footsteps in his hollow halls Little wonder that he soon devised to rid them all In one great gushing fall The billion tiny devil's feet which nightly walked that bloody beat
Hi ho, ho hum, get yourself a gun Open up your heart, let the bleeders run Hi ho, ho hum, move this thing along Open up your heart, let the evening come
Hi ho, ho hum, get yourself a gun Open up your heart, let the bleeders run Hi ho, ho hum, think about your mum Open up your heart, let the evening come darkly in
