brighton (us) - cursing the night lyrics

people always said “those two ain’t anything alike
eddie’s such a good boy, james just gets in fights
he’ll probably be a bum, just like his father was”

eddie sang in the church choir and worked hard after school
jimmy dressed in leather and blew his money playing pool
he pretended not to hear the things they used to say behind his back

in a room across town, he just stares at the ground
cursing the night, in his brother’s candle light

now jimmy he’d get mad when he heard his brother pray
said “no one’s gonna run my life, i’m gonna do things my own way”
must have heard him say that at least a thousand times

and he wouldn’t take advice, he just kept repeating his mistakes
threw away his future on the choices that he made
always had something to prove, he was gonna be a big man someday

in a room across town, he just stares at the ground
cursing the night, in his brother’s candle light

n0body has seen him since the day he left
he could be on the road somewhere, he could be dead
there’s a servant in a palace somewhere
there’s a young girl on the street
there’s a young man back at home praying for his brother, on his knees
and he’s thinking about the time jimmy screamed across the room
“you always had it easy, things always came to you
people always liked you, you don’t know what it means to lose”

eddie finally said, “we never did see eye to eye
you can blame me if you want to, for your problems in your life
but if you want things to change, it’s up to you to choose”

in a room across town, he just stares at the ground
cursing the night, in his brother’s candle light

in a room across town, he just lays with no sound
cursing the night, in his brother’s candle light
in his brother’s candle light
