Roy Harper - The Plough lyrics
[Roy Harper - The Plough lyrics]
The demons catch me on the stair
And I don't know where, I am
I don't know how I got there
Where was I going? What was I doing?
Before that same thought
Reached down and caught hooked me in the gut
Cursed me from every angle
As I was pulled out of the water again
And began to suffocate in pain
Desperately grappling to untie the knot
That I can't even get hold of
That I can't see but only feel
What am I doing?
How the hell did I lose her? How could i?
Why did I say things I didn't mean?
Where have I just been?
The house creaks in the silent parting
Of the day after day of no one
Not a sound why was she so mean?
Was it because she felt she could be
Because she felt she was right?
O what a prick I am what a shite
And what am I holding?
O yes, it's a plug why can't she understand?
Because she's never been left she's my drug
And now cold turkey where was I going?
To put it on the lamp that's right
I wonder whether she's looked up
And seen the plough tonight?
And I don't know where, I am
I don't know how I got there
Where was I going? What was I doing?
Before that same thought
Reached down and caught hooked me in the gut
Cursed me from every angle
As I was pulled out of the water again
And began to suffocate in pain
Desperately grappling to untie the knot
That I can't even get hold of
That I can't see but only feel
What am I doing?
How the hell did I lose her? How could i?
Why did I say things I didn't mean?
Where have I just been?
The house creaks in the silent parting
Of the day after day of no one
Not a sound why was she so mean?
Was it because she felt she could be
Because she felt she was right?
O what a prick I am what a shite
And what am I holding?
O yes, it's a plug why can't she understand?
Because she's never been left she's my drug
And now cold turkey where was I going?
To put it on the lamp that's right
I wonder whether she's looked up
And seen the plough tonight?
