Twisted Smile - Barry Adamson

Look who’s back a preaching on the corner

They’re sharpening knives and prostituting greed

The government has led us to the slaughter

It’s England’s green unpleasant land indeed

But now the baby needs a tickle on his quilt of furrowed brow

And you know you’re just a little off the shores of here and now

Everyone is everyone

Watch you from the window as you’re leaving

Think I can arrange a twisted smile

You hide behind the highlights and the grieving

And milk it like it’s going out of style

So like the King of good intentions maybe sometime in the spring

And you know you’re just a little on the downside of a lying little thing

Everyone is everyone (find me in your tears)

And they say…

I can’t make it without a leader

I can’t make it without a gun

You sound like a jumped up diamond star healer

Well if you don’t go within you go without

And I won’t be around to ease your fears and your doubts

Smiling when the twister’s in the distance

Breathing in the silence of the night

Heaven hopes you’ll make it in an instant

I only hope we make it by tonight

Cos in the hazy light of morning, yes the only way is up

And you know you’re just a little on the easy side of all that is enough

EVERYONE IS EVERYONE
