Conells, The – The Leper

Words, shallow words

and it all amounts to nothing

sounds, it just sounds, a little phony

yeah, its true I was the leper

yeah, its true I was the lad

yeah its true I was the better

and the bad

waiting for the part someone with a heart

poised and pissed and flowered

standing on the brink

trying not to think

I haven’t even showered

Yes, I am going to

yeah, its true I was the leper

yeah, its true I was the lad

yeah its true I was the better

and the bad

And the world keeps settling

in my way, in my way

damn it all, damn it all

And the world keeps settling

damn it all, damn it all

Christ what a life

and the most of it forgotten

listen to this

and the rest is pretty rotten

yeah, its true I was the leper

yeah, its true I was the lad

yeah its true I was the better

and the bad
