Gutter Hearts Lyrics - Marc Almond

Sitting on the kerb 

You wipe the tears away again 

The gutter holds your sallow hearts 

That wash down with the rain 

Barbed and brittle hands that push 

The hair out of your eyes 

Pavement fires a-flicker 

Like a host of fire flies 

My song calls from the gutter 

And the gutter sings to me 

A roundabout of down and outs 

In cardboard box city 

My song calls from the gutter 

And the gutter sings to me 

A roundabout of down and outs 

A dark cacophony

Get To Know Charming Folk Trio, The Accidentals 

The wolven of the orphan gangs 

Take turns to search and steal 

They splash about the puddles 

And are trodden under heel 

They bathe their pearly faces 

In the lights of Chinatown 

And they lick their pearly fingers 

When the street lamps flicker down 

My song calls from the gutter 

And the gutter sings to me 

A roundabout of down and outs 

In cardboard box city 

My song calls from the gutter 

And the gutter sings to me 

A roundabout of down and outs 

A dark cacophony

All night I've been up 

With the bitterest of thoughts 

I can't seem to throw 

All my cares to the wind 

Makes me sleep feverish 

Makes me sleep scared 

Pillow of secrets 

And blanket of sins
