Slightly Left Of Centre Glorious Way
The dawn of day
The boys who play lose their limbs in dares
And with their guns strapped to their backs
They won't be back, they'll be elsewhere
Shields and swords of yesterday
Can't save the way that they're portrayed
And to this day, they all will say
It's a glorious way to go
So wear that smile
It suits so well
And tell me you love the way
I hold your hand and pray
And hope it all goes away
The matinee
The girls who play the damsels in distress
With flowers in their hair
They sit and stare and wonder if they'll be saved
By the sons of men
Who pretend they are heroes with all they know
And the swords and shields that they will wield
Scream it's a glorious way to go
So wear that smile
It suits so well
And tell me you love the way
I hold your hand and pray
And hope it all goes away
It all goes away
Wear that smile
It suits so well
And tell me you love the way
I hold your hand and pray
And hope it all goes away
