Subsidence Lyrics - Singles - Edwyn Collins

You may find as I have found 

This place is neither safe nor sound 

This house of cards will tumble down 

As befits a cardboard town 

You're lost in the ruins of your mind 

As these four walls collide, as your whole world subsides 

But you took it all in your stride 

As a matter of course, not a matter of pride 

So raise your glass, let's celebrate 

'Cause we can force those hands of fate 

No need to heed the call for greed, for acquisition 

Now I ain't puttin' you on, this is my genuine position 

You're lost in the ruins of your mind 

As these four walls collide, as your whole life subsides 

But you took it all in your stride 

As a matter of course, not a matter of pride 

How can I thank you? 

We're forever in your debt 

We'll bite the hand of fate that feeds us 

Morsels of regret 

You're lost in the ruins of your mind 

As these four walls collide, as your whole world subsides 

But you took it all in your stride 

As a matter of course, not a matter of pride 

As a matter of course, not a matter of pride
