"Shine" lyrics - THE PSYCHEDELIC FURS

Shine
I heard her sing
I need a voice given anything
All I want to dream
Flattery
Days that never come
To shine a light on the damage done
Somedays without a sound
I feel the dark even closer now
I wear it
A winter coat
I'm far away but not far enough
What's true is torn
And shouted down

[Bridge:]
The world's at my feet
And it turns when I speak
And it shines

[Chorus:]
Shine and all that is
Comes down upon me
Shine and all that is

Sleep, it never comes
I lay awake
All the shutters drawn
Look at me I'm shamed
My bottle done
I hear her beating down on dirty wings
I feel the room move under me
I'm far away but not far enough
What's true is torn
And out of place

[Bridge:]
The world's at my feet
And it turns when I speak
And it shines

Shine
I heard her sing
A crooked voice and a dirty wings
Beating under me
Flattery

[Bridge:]
The world's at my feet
And it turns when I speak
On its drums and its wheels
Shine

[Chorus:]
Shine and all that is
Comes down upon me
Shine and all that is
Comes down upon me
Shine and all that is
Comes down upon me
