Envy & Other Sins Don't Start Fires
Somebody screamed last night at the cinema in a
prize-winning film about the spanish armada
I wasnt into it anyway, but a girl got enraged and i
wanted to say:
"Patience, dont start fires behind the lines in time of
peace,
Patience dont start fires"
We leave at dawn, so you'd better pack your suitcase
full of intricate things that justify you
That dont ask favours or even questions, that dont get
involved
or expect the truth
"Patience, dont start fires behind lines in times of
peace
when troubles wait like storm clouds, the sun will rise
in the east"
Lights march forward from Hyde Park Corner
Eyes gaze skyward at grey, everyone seems grey and
tired.
Now I've never been a believer, but my faith in myself
has been put to test
Nobody dreamed I'd amount to much anyway,
Only time bears the proof, which is why I say..
"Patience, dont start fires behind the lines in time of
peace,
Patience, dont start fire-e-e-e-ers,
behind lines in times of peace, when troubles wait like
storm clouds
the sun will riiiiiise in the eaaaaaast," so patience
dont start fires, patience dont start fires
Oh patience dont start fires..
