Five Words Lyrics - Go-betweens

It starts with a birthstone 

And ends with a tombstone 

Cathedrals in London, 

Cathedrals in Rome, all stone. 

And I just say (what do you say?) 

And I just say (what do you say?) 

Bury them don't keep 'em. 

And I just know (what do you know?) 

And I just know (what do you know?) 

Bury them don't keep 'em. 

Praise to the vision 

That pays for the angel. 

Coins in communion 

Ring like a halo.* 

Lay me down 

On my knees 

By my bed 

At night. 

Lay me down 

On my knees 

By my bed 

At night. 

Hail to the generals 

But hell to the public. 

Bows for the bishop 

And bones for believers. 

chorus 

Rap, rap, rap on the lid. 

Rap, rap, rap on the lid. 

Bury them don't keep 'em etc.
