Harlow 1959
Lyrics
harlow 1959
two plastic cups, a piece of string
and still i can’t hear your voice for anything
it was the loudest shouting – i’d never heard us fight
now it’s tinnitus on my pillow, in my ears tonight.
speak a little louder, speak a little clearer
if you speak at all
i can’t hear you, i can’t hear you
through these thin walls
a monkey on a metal frame
wires in my hands
waiting for a voice to speak
in words i understand
when all there is, is rattling in hollow ribs of paperclips and sand
make me a bride or hail me a king
and still you won’t find a heart in a man of tin
the grass that was greener grew up to be a maze
and we’re all stuck in here, we have no voice, we have no flag to raise
come a little closer, draw a little nearer
if you’re there at all
i can’t see you, i can’t see you
through these thin walls
i’m tired today
i’m tired today
know love don’t put it away
know love don’t put it away
i’ve known love...
