We are the sainted millions where the howling black birds fly Hand in hand we walk on through while the tracers pass us by We are the tainted living on the piss stained old barstools So raise a pint for those below who are singing beneath our shoes
Sleeping sainted millions can you tell me what you know? Sing to me a song you wrote beneath your pile of stone The writings on the granet read so trite and insincere What do ya feel ya missed about the dash between the years?

And I wouldn't trade it for another, and I would do it all again And I would treat it like a lover, runaway and take it by the hand

And the song in your head is a personified lie There's comfort in a bottle and there's comfort in a sky With all the time you'll wash away you'll fall in line and joined the ranks Of those who lived and died among their day
And I wouldn't trade it for another, and I would do it all again And I would treat it like a lover, runaway and take it by the hand And I wouldn't trade it for another, and I would do it all again And I would treat it like a lover, runaway and take it by the handTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
