Letra de The Blow
What a shameSoldier in the field, his smile is cut in half Yields to curiosity, now he's had his last laugh Rich man, just a poor man with so much more to spend There's a lover in that fighting man, who's dancing at the end Going 'round No one, go aroundKeeping your appointment with your private analyst And lying on the couch that gives your life a twist Dream of streams that analyse and dark relationships And sulphur fumes she takes if she'll forget Know what I'm singing about, my, my I don't wanna let it all, Miami Going to Vegas, then shake it Don't want to make it 'roundNo one told me her name I know I've seen her face It's the picture in the daily news that vanish with no trace You tried so hard to keep the photograph from you Where's the losers that took you crashing through? Don't know In my lifeDon't wanna be no more, in my life Don't wanna be no more, in my life Don't wanna cry no more, in my life Only thing, keep hanging on, is what you do when you're gone? When you're goneI'm ridin'Living on the base Living on the edge Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh I'm running second And I really don't need Just too full with chances Like I meant to say yes when I really mean no I just can't stand their glancesHow long can I hold on? How long must it be? How long can I hold on when you do not give to me? How long? Just how long? Women jumpA stiff upper lip Heading straight for his luck You should be held for insanity Act so tall, he said you don't fall And I know you believe in vanity, yes How long can I hold on out, doing this to me? How long can I hold on? How long?

Woo!Creatures at the zoo, zoo-zoo-zoo I met you, going through the zoo At the station plains Oh, and there ain't no way When you wanna fake it Try to shake it The zooThey all act so criticised It makes them swell to criticise There are plainer things that monkeys do at the zoo Sunday's they all come in droves So watch the watchers watching those Who know there's something special at the zoo Do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do Sunday at the zoo, woo-hoo, yeahIt's the only one, started shaking I had them last time When you're walking all around the town Feeling high and coming down?And I doubt she'd make it in a smokey show Play that the Lord admit when the data spoke to me Yeah I walked up to the man and he said if you can I wanna show you a man who'll rug ya Nobody can lock the night Because I've fallen inside-out again and again in a fair He got a shoe made Shoe mated, yeahIn the early hours of the early days There was a naked bladed and he trying to say Oh, they've got nothing to win, you can't come home tonight Coming up and waiting and I said you don't think It's like you're breakin', and it's there to shake You know you're gonna have to face it again And again and againRoar, the lion was turning It was only half past early morning Help me please, well, I'm kind of shaking But not like nothing that you got that I nearly need that badShe didn't look so old, she looked alike a match Somewhere inside, the wood's trying to catch Chilly, and a half bag she brought to me And she knock-a the house down, her daddy's on the matShe broke out her electric drill and did it in the lounge room Then she made with a hammer and Countdown on the TV They were wearing a frown Climbing the stairs, she chomped it down If you try to make it up to the top You're gonna find a problem, and then you're gonna have to stop Don't do it honey Don't do it honey(We're just going to the medicine room) My hammer too cold I never listened to what I was told Stay away from there You better stay away from thereRoom was so noisy, with voices that sparred With music and red wine and an unemployed bard He said, "Stay away from there You'd better stay away from there"It's that girl again Why do you wanna see her? You know it's no use She's gonna end your love's careerI've had enough now of your good advice I'm making my own mind I'm gonna pay the price Stay away from here You, you better stay away from hereYou're full of cheap wisdom Your fingers will burn Talk to the wall, 'cause fools never learn Stay away from here, ah Stay away from here You better, better stay away from here Stay away Ah, stay away Stay awayAh, stay away from here You better stay away, stay away from here You better stay away, stay away from here You, stay away Stay away
