The Leper Lyrics

Connells The Leper

Words, shallow words
and it all amounts to nothing
sounds, it just sounds, a little phony

yeah, its true I was the leper
yeah, its true I was the lad
yeah its true I was the better
and the bad

waiting for the part someone with a heart
poised and pissed and flowered
standing on the brink
trying not to think
I haven't even showered
Yes, I am going to

yeah, its true I was the leper
yeah, its true I was the lad
yeah its true I was the better
and the bad

And the world keeps settling
in my way, in my way
damn it all, damn it all
And the world keeps settling
damn it all, damn it all

Christ what a life
and the most of it forgotten
listen to this
and the rest is pretty rotten

yeah, its true I was the leper
yeah, its true I was the lad
yeah its true I was the better
and the bad
