Sing Me a Rebel Song - The Magic Numbers, Romeo Stodart, Angela Gannon

Sing me a rebel song

A song that’s gonna save my life tonight

The melody lingers on

And I still hear the sadness in your voice

Well the stop wheels are off

Hell the damage has been done

But you’re still throwing punches, damn

I hope you land another one

Is your candor for effect

Or has your zipper come undone

Well I keep thinking sooner or later man

Something might just go wrong

And you smile and you say

«What's the matter with you boy»

Rolled your eyes and turned away

Do you have to be so cruel

Well I’m still trying to find my way out

Of someone else’s song

Well it’s just the blues and that’s okay still

Everybody’s talking at me

And I can hear the clock a-tick-tocking louder than before

Oh, so what if I’m lost and so what if I’m lonely, well

What if it’s you that just keeps

Reminding me that I’m only just two steps away

From something much bigger than that

Well I go home and I try, try to get to grips with it

But you, your life it just took off

Up the banks of the river with an open mouth

I hear you crying

But you ain’t got that magic anymore

And regret will come knocking at your door

You feel bad now, don’t you boy

Don’t feel bad for me, I hate that

Sing me a rebel song

A song that’s gonna save my life tonight

The melody lingers on

And I still hear the sadness in your voice

Sing me a rebel song

A song that’s gonna save my life tonight

The melody lingers on

But I still hear the sadness in your voice

With my back against the wall

I hear the darkness call

I thought you had the answer baby

Thought you had the answers to it all

But you ain’t got that magic anymore

And regret, it comes knocking at your door

Sing me a rebel song

A song that’s gonna save my life tonight

The melody lingers on

But I still hear the sadness in your voice

Sing me a rebel song

A song that’s gonna save my life tonight

The melody lingers on

But I still hear the sadness in your voice
