the amazing devil - marbles lyrics

Loading...

i’ve held your hand since nineteen seventy nine
you were in a band # still am # yeah but back then you had hair and your smile was so sublime
and i chipped my t##th on every joke you cracked

you used to buy me scotch # still do # yeah but now too much is never enough
to take me back to that dance hall where you got thrown out cos they thought you were drunk #i wasn’t #
you couldn’t lie then and you sure as h#ll can’t lie to me now

you stole the best years of my life
i’ll give them back

you got fat
and you’re the thigh high hemline i just can’t stop staring at

i will wait and hope
your eyes aren’t rivers there to weep
but a place for crows to rest their feet

i will wait and hope
and rest my head at night content
knowing where my marbles went

the flat we rented was a palace for my queen
if by palace you mean that asbestos and beans from a tin, and the gin that we brewed in the bathtub
you sang ‘do you think i’m s#xy’ and oh god i really did

you’d swoon, you’d sigh, working shifts till we cried
oh if one more guy calls me darling then i
swear to you and to god i will murder them all, all the b#st#rds applaud when i show that i’m flawed
you’re not flawed darling, you’re just a little under#rehe#rs#d

and i’d get in
and for some reason you’ve painted the kitchen lime green

and i’d sink to the floor, what’s the point anymore
and you, you’d reply with a glint in your eye
(and you, you’d reply with a drink in your hand)
saying ‘i don’t know, but i’m here, i’m all yours, dear heart don’t cry’
(saying ‘i don’t know, but i’m here, oh dear god, dear heart don’t cry’)

cos i will wait and hope
your eyes aren’t rivers there to weep
but a place for crows to rest their feet

and i will wait and hope
and rest my head at night content
knowing where my marbles went

i’ve loved you, for a hundred years
certainly f#cking feels like it

the minute i met you the colours of my life begun to pour
i’m scared of the dark

and now, even though you’re mad and these memories won’t stay, it’s okay
cos now i get to meet you for the first time every single day

i’ll wait and hope
your eyes aren’t rivers there to weep
but a place for crows to rest their feet

i’ll wait and hope
and rest my head at night content
knowing where my marbles went

and i will wait
and i will wait
and i will wait
and hope
