Gwen Barkley In The 20th Century Lyrics - Sir Cadian Rhythm

Gwen Barkley was as stubborn as could be 

Gwen Barkley had a different kinda hold on me 

She'd go and pretend I wasn't alive 

She's picking me up, oh what a surprise now I'm down 

She's winding me up around and around 

She knew I didn't swim so why'd she let me drown 

Her hay day's over, yeah 

Gone to fast with nothing left to say 

An echo fell on her homes sweet war 

The weary folk, they didn't knock any more 

A shot and a swig alone and apart 

You can drink from the empty bottle of her heart 

She's winding me up around and around 

She knew I didn't swim so why'd she let me drown 

Her days were numbered, yeah 

Gone to fast with nothing left to say 

I try to keep composure well 

A bed she made where now she will lay 

Oh Gwen 

I didn't know 

What you said 

Or where you go 

You left me bare foot I mistook you for someone who would know 

Her hay days over, yeah 

Gone to fast with nothing left to say 

I try to keep composure well 

Here she lays Gwen Barkley
