the jam - carnation lyrics

if you gave me a fresh carnation
i would only crush its tender petals
with me you’ll have no escape
and at the same time there’ll be nowhere to settle –
i trample down all life in my wake
i eat it up and take the cake
i just avert my eyes to the pain
of someone’s loss helping my gain
if you gave me a dream for my pocket
you’d be plugging in the wrong socket
with me there’s no room for the future
with me there’s no room with a view at all –
i am out of season all year ’round
hear machinery roar to my empty sound
touch my heart and feel winter
hold my hand and be doomed forever –

if you gave me a fresh carnation
i would only crush its tender petals
with me you’ll have no escape
and at the same time there’ll be nowhere to settle
and if you’re wondering by now who i am
look no further than the mirror –
because i am the greed and fear
and every ounce of hate in you
