Around The Plynth Lyrics - 1970-1975: You Can Make Me Dance, Sing Or Anything... - Faces

Woken up on mornings such as this 

Thought exactly the same as I'm thinking now 

Every night for a year I've slept alone 

Cold, damp room looks worse than me, no, no, no 

Got a fear of death that creeps on every night 

I know I won't die soon, but then again I might 

Water down the drain, I'm wasting away 

Doctors can't help the ghost of a man that's me, no, no, no 

Water down the drain goes to the sea 

The pattern of my life keeps a-haunting me 

Moisture from the ocean fills the sky 

Come on down to the ground as the time goes by, no no no, no no no 

I never found out the reason why 

Oh why my parents had to lie 

About the place that I was born 

Or from my hometown I was torn 

At the tender age of four 

I was livin' by homemade law 

I never knew when it was to be laid 

My desires are never displayed 

I never knew what it was to be loved 

I never knew what it was to be laid 

I never knew what it was to win 

I never knew what it was to be loved no, no, no 

Get on up there 

I never knew what it was to be loved 

I never knew what it was to be laid 

No, no, no, no, no, no, no
