NOTHING TO SHOW Jon Langford (With Richard Buckner)
Nothing to show for the things that I ve done
There were places to go and I had to choose this one
Well I had some dreams in My head, had some tricks up my sleeve
Now I ll be lucky to leave with my life, yes Ill be lucky to leave
Over The line and into your bed
Where desire and shame consume like a flame, and wise men might fear to tread
You closed my mouth with a touch, I said too much
Oh you tried to turn back the tide, you didn t want to know
Chorus:
You can find me here where the city lights burn
The stars right out of the sky
And the birds sing all night as the traffic rolls by
loosing my name like the millions who came
just to say that they were right
We ll be lucky to leave, lucky to leave with our lives
We ll be lucky to leave, lucky to leave with our lives
Nothing to show since it all went wrong
and nowhere to go but the streets that I m walking on
I had changed horse in midstream, i went down like a stone
Thought Id slip off the hook, now Im battered and cooked, gutted and boned
Chorus
