pillar to post şarkı sözü

words and music by roddy frame
so you appear and say how i´ve grown
and fill me up with faces i´ve known.
in this light they´re far from divine
i´ll save them up and spend them when i have time.

the salted taste of all your tears and woes
sent me in haste my melancholy rose
those tasteless lips were closed
you watched me come, you´ll see me go.

once i was happy in happy extremes
packing my bags for the path of the free
from pillar to post i am driven it seems
these bitter tokens are worthless to me

just like june the curtains are closed
the ghost of shame he sits here and sighs
i´ll love the flames like i´ve loved the cold
i´ll learn to love the life of the "could i, could i, could i"
so i don´t cross my fingers any more
you looked for rags and found them at your door
how could you ask for more
than everything you´ve heard before?

once i was happy in happy extremes
packing my bags for the path of the free
from pillar to post i am driven it seems
these bitter tokens are worthless to me
