Crawl Back ( Under My Stone ) Lyrics - Live From Austin, Tx - Richard Thompson

This time you hurt me 

You really did it this time you did 

Did you count your fingers 

After shaking my hand, God forbid 

Riff raff crawling from the slums 

Right there in front of all your chums 

I swear by the pricking of my thumbs 

I'll make your day and melt away 

I'll crawl back under my stone 

I'll crawl back under my stone 

I'll crawl back under my stone 

But you won't have to stand next to me 

You won't have to introduce me 

You won't have to think about 

Talk about, care about, me 

I'll crawl back

I've got a nerve just showing my face 

Don't you think 

Scruffy little likes ought to know 

Their place don't you think 

Old boy, sorry to intrude 

Damn shame pretty bloody rude 

I should be horsewhipped and sued 

Then I'll go quietly my tail between my knees 

I'll crawl back under my stone 

I'll crawl back under my stone 

I'll crawl back under my stone 

But you won't have to stand next to me 

You won't have to introduce me 

You won't have to think about 

Talk about, care about, me 

I'll crawl back 

Photos 

I want to be middle class 

Floors and ceilings made of glass 

I just want to be, I just want to be free 

You had me in a second you had it 

All reckoned, you did 

You guessed my game and my name 

Rank and number, you did 

Somehow I gave myself away 

Some code, some word I didn't say 

I missed one line in the play 

And the trap shut tight and you did me all right 

I'll crawl back under my stone 

I'll crawl back under my stone 

I'll crawl back under my stone 

But you won't have to stand next to me 

You won't have to introduce me 

You won't have to think about 

Talk about, care about 

You won't have to ask about 

Fuss about, discuss about 

You won't have to mind about 

Swear about, forget about, me 

Crawl back, I'll crawl back 

I'll crawl back, crawl back 

I'll crawl back 

Crawl back, crawl back 

I'll crawl back
