ballad of a landlord

terry hall

on the day you arrived
the bedroom curtaims were drawn
all was still
the way you left it
same number on the door
easy come, easy go
what a way to treat your soul
though I confess
where once hearts rested
now there’s nothing
but a hole

so the prodigal returns
I juess the pleasure’s not enough
Did he pormise you the earth
A world of besuty and the bluff
]I tried to tend the garden
until the flowers fell to weed
so now the place lies in a ruin
the way you lied and ruined me

do I have the answer
if I did I wouldn’t know
so take it if you want it
if you don’t
then let me go

fake leopard skin fur says it all
you never could be real
how I long to taste the secrets
from uour land of phoney tears
you tried to be a movement
but there was no one on your side
did you come back here to haunt me
or to take me for a ride

take yourself away
I’ve been here once before
And I can’t have you hurtig me
Anymore
