White Lies - Ragworm lyrics

[White Lies - Ragworm lyrics]

Chipped and bitten dolls heads in
A basket up for sale
The loneliness of markets drag a
Shadow like a whale
These are hard times given
But if hard times win
You're begging in hell

Your Dad could hide a bottle in an eyelid
In a shell
Your Mother makes a dish nobody's
Mother makes as well
These are dark times risen
But if dark times win
You're wishing in hell

Oh, we've seen it all before
Boys on the cove selling worms
To the boats coming ashore

Dogs out in the rubbish that
The cat's already delved
Your brother turns his muscles to
The sound of factory bells
All gods forbidden
You buy your peace on 99 shelves
The schools are cold and violent
And the television's loud
Every park is cemetery
Holes and muddy mounds
This is our great island
And now good people shutting it down

Oh, they've seen it all before
Boys on the cove selling worms to the boats
Boys on the cove selling worms to the boats
Boys on the cove selling worms
To the boats coming ashore

Oh, you've seen it all before

Boys on the cove selling worms to the boats
Girls at the hearth knitting words
And breaking oaths
Man stripping cars singing songs
From the road
And rats in the bars licking
Coke from the hoes
There's a crash overboard and a
Wink for the host
Boys open-armed selling worms to
The boats coming ashore
