The Modern Leper (cutting Room Sessions) Lyrics - Polaroid Picture - Frank Turner

A cripple walks amongst you all 

You tired human beings 

He's got all the things a cripple has not 

Two working arms or legs 

And vital parts fall from his system and dissolve in Scottish rain 

Vitally, he doesn't miss them 

He's too fucked up to care 

And is that you in front of me? 

Coming back for even more 

Exactly the same 

And you must be a masochist 

To love a modern leper on his last leg 

On his last leg

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Well I've crippled your heart a hundred times 

And still can't work out why 

You see, I've got this disease 

I'm just rattling 

I'm just rattling through life 

Well this is how we do things now, yeah 

This is how the modern stay scared 

Well I cut out all the good stuff 

Yeah I cut off my foot to spite my leg 

And is that you in front of me? 

Coming back for even more 

Exactly the same 

And you must be a masochist 

To love a modern leper on his last leg 

And I'm not ill but I'm not dead 

I don't know which of those I prefer 

Because that limb that I have lost 

It was the only thing holding me up 

Holding me up 

Photos 

Well I'm lying on the ground now 

And you're walking through the only door 

And I have lost my eyesight like I said I would 

But I still know 

That that is you in front of me 

Coming back for even more of exactly the same 

And are you a masochist 

A little modern leper on his last leg? 

And you're not ill and I'm not dead 

Doesn't that make us the perfect pair? 

So settle down, and start again 

You can tell me all about what you did today 

What you did today
