Real Tears For Sale Lyrics - Vol. 2 Happiness Is The Road: The Hard Shoulder - Marillion

Such a pretty girl 

The anger didn't hide it 

You shaved your head, pulled a face 

Dressed yourself up without grace 

It didn't hide a life times damage 

It didn't hide a life times fears 

Against your better judgement 

You put your whole self up for sale 

The horror show when you where young 

We couldn't wait to hear about it 

But even whores 

Don't kiss with tongues 

Nonetheless I do believe 

You cry real tears 

Real tears for sale 

Real tears for sale 

Real tears for sale 

Real tears for sale 

The wrong side of a lifetime's drinking 

It's where it seems I'm coming from 

I took my demons by the hand 

Bent them, twisted them 

Until they scanned and rhymed 

And I took your love 

And all the hurt inside 

Laid it out on the market stall 

Agony at a knockdown price 

Reduced to clear is what I cry 

The wrong side of a lifetime's wishful thinking 

Dragged me here to pills and ale 

Come and listen 

Come and listen to my tale 

Come and get it 

Real tears for sale 

Real tears for sale 

Real tears for sale 

Real tears for sale 

All the hurt 

All the secrets 

All the damage 

All the shame 

All the dirty absolutions 

All the rage 

All the rage 

All the rage
