No Mercy For The Muse Lyrics - Singles - Neil Halstead

Shabby boy? s kept you up all night 

Oh, sentimental drinkers 

Sing songs that end in fights about fights 

And they? ll swear to you 

That they just can? t help it 

Know that poem in their head 

That painting of your bed, it must out 

Does time stand still 

When you cross the room? 

Oh, surely it must do 

When they write a song 

That goes on and on about you 

Does your golden hair, fall in waves? 

No mention of a spot 

Tantrum or tooth rot, not for them

23 Of The Most Heartbreaking Christmas Songs Ever 

Just pearly smiles and Mona Lisa wiles 

For your coterie of stars 

Your barrel of charlatans 

Celebrate, and they will venerate 

Hold their heads in the morning glare 

For with some faint praise 

They will hold your gaze 

And dedicate it all to you 

Yeah, dedicate it all to you 

Oh, you live your life in black and white 

No subtlety for you, no mercy for the muse 

It? s true 

Come in again, number 10 

Oh, your army of typewriters 

Your consequence of biters won? t last long 

And life will burden you not 

Love will carry on with a thrust 

Photos 

And they? ll swear to you 

That they just can? t help it 

That poem in their head 

That painting of your bed 

It must out, it must out 

Celebrate and they will venerate 

Hold their heads in the morning glare 

For with some faint praise 

They will hold your gaze 

And dedicate it all to you 

Yeah, dedicate it all to you 

Yeah, dedicate it all to you
