Prefab Sprout - Don't Sing lyrics

An outlaw stand in a peasant land
In every face see Judas
The burden of love is so strange
The stubborn beast and the whiskey priest
Are hiding from the captains
The burden of love is so plain
Are they happy to see you?
No, you always bring trouble
Cast a shadow on Mexico-denial
Doesn't change facts
Like most I'll come when I want things done
Please God don't let that change
The anguish of love at long range
Should've been a doctor, oh
Then they can see what they're getting
Oh, no, don't blame Mexico
That's the feast that the whisky priest
May yet have to forego
Rob me of colour, make the sound duller
But never go away

Trough teeth of sharks the Autumn barks
And Winter squarely bites me
Don't ever do this again
Dawn breaks in the Southern States
And blindfolded he rests
The burden of love's last request
That's the feast that the whisky priest
May yet have to forego

Oh, no, don't blame Mexico
They ask for more than you bargained for
And then they ask for more
Oh, no, don't blame Mexico
That's the feast that the whisky priest
May yet have to forego
They ask for more than you bargained for
And then they ask for more
Rob me of colour, make the sound duller
But never go away
