Lying Down — текст песни (Kirsty Maccoll)

(kirsty maccoll/pete glenister)



I was born and I was bred

I was reared and I was fed

Moved into the neighbourhood

Where I was bad and I was good

I fixed things for people there

I took them out I dont know where

I coloured in their lives to give them outlines

I walked before Ill walk again

Ill walk along a line of men

And walk into the lions den



I think you know but you wont say

Just what it is makes life this way

But Im not going to take this lying down



Reach for the stars retch for the earth

We took the earth and made it worse

And there was never any doubt

We ate it up we spat it out

And still we love to say we did it our way

On this voyage of discovery

Im blinded by the things I see

Ive seen before Ill see again

Ill look along a line of men

And fall into the lions den



Now you can pray your head is bared

And Im not saying Im not scared

But Im not going to take this lying down



I think you know but you wont say

Just what it is makes life this way

But Im not going to take this lying down
