Bar Room Jury Lyrics - Levellers

Everybody knows the story 

They've got the details, what the score is 

But if you want the truth, girl 

You may need more than a day 

You need to move just a little closer 

These walls have ears if you didn't know, girl 

There're certain things that you need to know 

Before you go on your way 

It seems the world is a little busy 

Selling lies on for a living 

That in a blinking of an eye 

The truth has slipped away 

And the writings on the wall 

To see 

It lives on even though you think it's dead and gone 

The legacy love leaves behinds was never easy, never kind 

It lives on even though you think it's dead and gone 

The legacy love leaves behinds was never one to mind 

Moving on to the next installment 

(In) 

Case the bar room jury dies of boredom 

The vultures are waiting 

For the next meal of the day 

Another tale that's sad and sorry 

And another love that went so wrong 

And all the inside guts and glory 

That pushed it all along 

It's hard to find the word to say 

You just let the days go by, come what may 

All the things that we should have done 

Just happened anyway 

And the writing written on the wall 

For everyone to see 

It lives on even though you think it's dead and gone 

The legacy love leaves behinds was never easy, never kind 

It lives on even though you think it's dead and gone 

The legacy love leaves behinds was never one to mind 

It lives on even though you think it's dead and gone 

The legacy love leaves behinds was never easy, never kind 

It lives on even though you think it's dead and gone 

The legacy love leaves behinds was never one to mind
