"The Wrong Song" lyrics - SKYCLAD

Another bad break
Burst another bubble
Another lost cause
Here's another trouble
Another heartache
One more chance gone
Another lost chord
In yet another wrong song

Sometimes I feel like I'm standing on a hillside
Screaming at the world only wishing it would hear
I can't deny that I'm tired of your lies
But I hope if I hide that you'll all disappear
Can a fat man squeeze a camel through a needle's eye?
As hell freezes over the little pigs fly
Just when things seemed better than before
Listen, there's a black dog howling at my back door

You say I took it all the wrong way
Got the wrong end of the stick
Proceed to water down the truth now
Make me drink it 'til I'm sick

It's a monkey's shine, a mare's nest
A cock and bull story
You're talking through your hat
You're full of sound and fury

You're wide of the mark, on the wrong scent
Barking up the wrong tree, out of it, not a leg to stand on

Dignity is one thing that you can't preserve in alcohol
Here's a drug to blow your mind, it's called sodium pentothal
I've smelt more rats in my time than a sanitary inspector
So every word you start to speak sets off my lie detector

Another bad break
Burst another bubble
Another lost cause
Here's another trouble
Another heartache
One more chance gone
Another lost chord
In yet another wrong song

Truth often hurts but it hit me like a hammer
I've been sweating blood for product, I thought it was my art
Would it have made it tougher, all I've had to suffer
If you'd come clean and told me the score from the start?
Stop treating everybody like a charity
I may have sold my soul but I won't part with my sanity
I was a schizophrenic, my better half left home
The Samaritans don't answer when I call them on the telephone

You say the cheque is in the post
And it'll sound great at the mix
But we have heard them all before now
Have we the memory span of fish?

It's a monkey's shine, a mare's nest
A cock and bull story
You're talking through your hat
You're full of sound and fury

You're wide of the mark, on the wrong scent
Barking up the wrong tree, out of it, not a leg to stand on

Dignity is one thing that you can't preserve in alcohol
Here's a drug to blow your mind, it's called sodium pentothal
I've smelt more rats in my time than a sanitary inspector
So every word you start to speak sets off my lie detector

Another wrong song
