mekons - chop that child in half lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
out in the darkness, lies and disease
all that i have left when we went to the hospital
well i looked across the river and i was nearly sick
the shallow grave of power grinned and flashed its t++th

[chorus]
there’s a lot of ghosts round here
a lot of crying in the dark
a taxi pulled up to park
and out stepped old king solomon
[verse 2]
i spoke to a girl from scotland who was pregnant and didn’t want to be
we went back to the hospital and had a cup of tea
all the demons rolled into one were dripping down her cheek
and put back the splinter of glass back in her heart

[verse 3]
fragments i couldn’t grasp turned to dust in my fingers
we lurched into incoherence
a puerile tear dimmed my eye, ashamed i wiped it away
the night grew dark and the ram came driving fast

[chorus]
there’s a lot of ghosts round here
a lot of crying in the dark
a taxi pulled up to park
and out stepped old king solomon

[verse 4]
the darkness brought back a memory
of a beach hut in whitley bay
someone else’s suffering and someone else’s pain
back in time becomes a mystery you didn’t understand

[chorus]
there’s a lot of ghosts round here
a lot of crying in the dark
a taxi pulled up to park
and out stepped old king solomon
