Nigel Stonier - Me And St Jude текст песни

You should know better than talking to me
Being my friend indiscriminately
'Cause I look like someone who dealt with it all
But this heart comes fitted with a total recall
This defence only takes moments to fall

See, I've got this shadow who walks at my side
He doesn't do caution and he doesn't do pride
But he carries a green light and a rice paper mask
And when I stop believing he takes me to task
He says “you may know the answer but you still have to ask”

And after the come-down it comes down to this
A battered bouquet and a willing accomplice
Lock up your sympathy, baby hold tight
Me and St Jude are in town for the night

Well, I threw out the map with the route to your door
Re-read your letters that spelt out the score
Oh, but my guardian angel, he works in reverse
Faith is his downfall, believing's his curse
He'll take a sad song and make it much worse

'Cause after the come-down it comes down to this
A battered bouquet and a willing accomplice
Lock up your sympathy, baby hold tight
'Cause me and St Jude are in town for the night

Give us one ray of hope,
Give us one length of rope
What do you say?
Give us one straw to clutch
Any more's far too much
There'll be a way

'Cause after the come-down it comes down to this
A battered bouquet and a willing accomplice
Lock up your sympathy, baby hold tight
Me and St Jude are in town for the night
Won't you lock up your sympathy, baby hold tight
'Cause me and St Jude are in town for the night
