Don't Sell It Lyrics - Singles - The Cruel Sea

In the lonely streets of every town 

In the home of Mr. Jones 

The men all sell their souls to love 

But their women sleep alone 

The women sell their love 

For cheap. for security 

They take a lot of shit just to get their bit 

But nothing comes for free 

Oh, don't sell your love 

Oh, don't sell your love too cheap 

In the flea bit ridden crossroads 

Of the fallin' livin' streets 

Old men stare and women wear 

Clothes that make them weep 

At the burnin' and of a satellite town 

Where windows smash or shine 

Lovers bleed take what they need 

From the deaf dumb and the blind 

Oh, don't sell your love 

Oh, don't sell your love too cheap 

Sometimes I get my feet stuck so hard in the ground 

It's like diggin' a hole, just standin' around 

Every single fuckin' day that goes by, I miss too of 

My friends outside are gettin' fewer and fewer 

And I feel like I'm sittin' on a human sewer 

Mother fucken nature like I never ever knew her 

Make the same mistakes over and over again 

And I stop to explode all over my friends 

I'm so scared now, I don't know who I am 

I guess I'm a man, yeah, I'm only human 

I've got no fucken' strength of body and mind 

'Cause the days go on just like I'm doin' time 

There's a soul suckin' strap at the top of my spine 

I gotta get straight walk a straight line 

Everywhere you look today there are people livin' lies 

If they can't get the truth they want 

They're quick to compromise 

Suck a little bit here, suck a little bit there 

Till they think they're satisfied 

But their hunger for the real thing 

Keeps them crawlin' back inside 

Oh, don't sell your love 

Oh, don't sell your love too cheap
