Same Old Story Lyrics - Singles - Public Image Ltd.

Some people got more kicks than halfpence 

Crying for attention, like cracks in the pavement 

All of this pointed, like perfect TV 

When you're sowing the wind, you reap the whirlwind 

Your flexible nature, serving no purpose 

Like a terrible artist, your using no shadow 

The king of this castle, is pulling new shades 

Gilding the lilies, and all of them fakes 

Who gets the mansions? We get the ruins 

Same old story 

Who gets the mansions? We get the ruins 

Same old story, same old story

Watch Sam Smith And Fifth Harmony Join James Corden For Carpool Karaoke 

Typical tragic, small house and small street 

Narrow the outlook, small minded complete 

The emperor's new clothes, get clearer and clearer 

Dictate to the fingers, that tighten the trigger 

Who gets the mansions? We get the ruins 

Same old story 

Who gets the mansions? We get the ruins 

Same old story, same old story, same old story 

And the king of this castle is pulling new shapes 

Life is a poison, it begins at home 

Pride is a trinket, security blanket 

Tangle the spiders on the webs that we weave 

Who gets the mansions? 

Same old story 

We get the ruins

Who gets the mansions? We get the ruins
