A God In An Alcove Lyrics - Swing The Heartache: The Bbc Sessions - Bauhaus

Go and look for the dejected 

Once proud idol remembered in stone aloud 

Then on coins his face was mirrored 

Take a look, it soon hath slithered 

To a fractured marble slab 

Renunciation clad 

His nourishment extract from his subjects 

That mass production profile 

He's a God in an alcove 

Once he spread the rain 

So they dreamt in vain 

Once he spread the wheat 

Had made some garlands for his feet 

Until the lily poet of our times 

Horizoned on the line 

Love became the in theme then 

Opposing fakers thrice by ten 

Don't perceive his empty plea 

That redundant effigy 

He's a God in an alcove 

Take in view his empty stool 

What's left is satin cool 

Clawing adornment for his crimes 

They saw they had to draw the line 

So they sent him far away 

So they sent him far away 

To a little alcove 

To a little alcove all alone 

He's a God, a God 

Now I am silly 

Now I am silly 

So silly, silly 

Silly, silly, silly, silly 

Silly, silly
