Quick As Rainbows [martin Hannett Earlier Version] Lyrics - Kitchens Of Distinction

As she walks home tonight 

To her house and ignores the stars 

She knows there's no-one waiting 

Tomorrow isn't clear enough 

To give her strength or make her want 

To wake and walk in the morning. 

And there's hope that I've taken 

And there's drugs to make it painless 

And men, we're quick as rainbows, 

Always rare to keep her thirsty 

And I've gone, like she'd always known. 

As I walk home tonight, 

To my house and ignore the stars, 

I know there's someone waiting, 

Tomorrow is very clear, 

It gives me strength and makes me want 

To wake and walk in the morning 

But there's hope that I've taken 

And there's drugs to make it painless 

And men, we're quick as rainbows, 

Always rare to keep her thirsty 

And I've gone, like she'd always known. 

There were times of troubled dreams of hate 

I'd take her down to the lake with our love 

Watch it swim, we'd watch it drown 

Watch our love bob up and down. 

And there's hope that I've taken 

And there's drugs to make it painless 

And men, we're quick as rainbows, 

Always rare to keep her thirsty 

And I've gone, like she'd always known. 

Always corpses at breakfast time.
