It Just Came To Pieces In My Hands Lyrics - The Sound Of The Style Council - The Style Council

I stood as tall as a mountain 

I never really thought about the drop 

I trod over rocks to get there 

Just so I could stand on top 

Clumsy and blind I stumbled 

As I crawled through desert sands 

I didn't stop to think about the consequences 

As it came to pieces in my hands 

I thought I was a maritime marvel 

I believed that I ruled the waves 

All I could say is time is motion 

And every effort others made I would save

I was a shit stained statue 

School children would stand in awe 

Truly believed I was a ceiling of sky 

Never thought about having flaws 

I felt as reverent as jesus 

The sanctimony stunk 

I thought I was admiral of the missing fleet 

I couldn't see that I was sunk 

I roared my pride in the darkness 

I scratched away at the stars 

I thought I was lord of this crappy jungle 

I should have been put behind bars 

But now I sit with my head in my hands 

And wail to the weeping wall 

The avalanche of my emotions 

Holds the audience of one enthralled 

Photos 

Like learning the lesson the hard way 

Like a fall from command 

I thought I as king of the whole wide world 

But it just came to pieces in my hands
