Terry Hall - Ballad of a landlord lyrics

Your rating:

On the day you arrived
the bedroom curtains were drawn
all was still
the way you left it
same number on the door
easy come, easy go
what a way to treat your soul
though I confess
where once hearts rested
now there's nothing
but a hole

So the prodigal son returns
I guess the pleasure's not enough
did he promise you the earth
a world of beauty an the bluff
I tried to tend the garden
until the flowers fell to weed
so now the place lies in a ruin
the way you lied and ruined me

Do I have the answer
if I did I wouldn't know
so take it if you want it
if you don't
then let me go

Fake leopard skin fur says it all
you never could be real
how I long to taste the secrets
from your lands of phoney tears
you tried to be a movement
but there was no one on your side
did you come back here to haunt me
or take me for a ride

take yourself away
I've been here once before
and I can't have you hurting me
anymore
