Ballad Of Bodmin Pill Lyrics - New Model Army

Smash glass against the wall 

Curse the music on the radio that the neighbours play. 

Door slams, she turns her head 

Watches through the window as he pulls away 

Funny how your racing brain drives you so mad 

When all the while you feel so numb 

Too old to be clean far too young to be broken 

Like an army we come 

Cut back, left behind 

I watched you self-destructing oh so many times 

Shot down, once again 

Sitting in a chair crying what am I going to do with my life? 

Just learn to hide the way that you really feel 

Never let them know that you're scared 

But understand that you're not the special only one 

Watch us now, watch us real close 

How we all dance with this fire 'cause it's all that we know 

And as the spotlight turns toward us, we all try our best to show 

We are lost we are freaks, we are crippled, we are weak 

We are the heirs, we are the true heirs, to all the world 

Let's go build a fire down on the empty beach when the waves are crashing high 

White heat purify, as the sparks fly up into the great black sky 

Sacrifice these crutches to the crackling flames 

Stand as silhouettes against the dawn 

It's far too late to try to sleep now, seems I'm never tired any more
