Testo The Bride Stripped Bare - Shriekback
Testo della canzone The Bride Stripped Bare (Shriekback), tratta dall'album Glory Bumps
She's ready made and weapons grade
Her eyes are brine and lustre
That's never good and thus you would
Be ill advised to trust her
Now hear our prayer
Yeah like she cares
The bride stripped bare
Concatenate the nickel plate
The details still obsess her
Her assemblage is mighty large
Don't think you could impress her
The crows don't scare
So you know what flair
The bride stripped bare
Haven't got a shoe for my shoelace
Haven't got a stick for my tongue
Don't know where I stand in the next life
Don't know if I get to see one
Couldn't go to sleep in the car park
Didn't have a rock for my head
Couldn't sing the blues if I tried to
Carry everything you can't shed
Too rich to sue, too rich for you
Her massive arches tower
The savage truth takes off the roof
It all comes down to power
Her armature forged in the Ruhr
And all its flame and vapour
She says it's true but if I were you
I'd get it down on paper
This wear and tear
You can't repair
The bride stripped bare
The world unmade, the final fade
The arcs of love obey her
But now the source has run its course
They will not long delay her
And who can bear this holy glare
The bride stripped bare
The meat's too rare
They shaved her hair
The bride stripped bare
Gonna make this limp on a cold hand
Make a big arm wave it on the damage
Make this lousy object sing to you
I'll change my nature, be a voice to good
Run a good straight arrow through the devil's heart
Though I had the will, but leave the deed undone
Take a dive and leave the head on the ground
Gonna burn the rags with a decent night
Gonna make this limp on a cold hand
Make a big arm wave it on the damage
Make this lousy object sing to you
Run a good straight arrow through the devil's heart
Though I had the will, but leave the deed undone
Take a dive and leave the head on the ground
Gonna burn the rags with a decent night
Keep her head down, serve her mind
