The Devil of Liverpool
V1
THE SOLICE IN SILENCE
BUILT AROUND HOPE
IT HOLDS YOUR HAND
AS DESTINY UNFOLDS
THERE AROUND A SIMPLE LIFE
OF WORKING BOUT' THE GROUNDS:
REGRETS YEILD NO EMPATHY
AS THE HAMER COMES DOWN
C)
THE DEVIL OF LIVERPOOL
MAKES EVERY DREAM COME TRUE
SLAMMING THEM RIGHT INTO THE GROUND
WITH A SMILE AND A HAND SHAKE
A GRIN AND A FAKE TAKE
BREEDS DECAY WITHIN THIS TOWN
V2
A SIMPLE ADMIRATION
THE WHEEL'S SPINNING ROUND
TO DEEPEN PENETRATION
OF THE FEAR THAT'S ALL AROUND
A SIMPLE DAYS ACCEPTANCE
ON A CONTRACT WITH NO DATE
BRINGS THE SAD REFLECTION
A ROOM WITH NO ESCAPE
C)
A PRINCE TO KNOW ONE
A DEMON TO MANY
HE STEALS THE LIFE THEY KNEW
AS THE WORLD THEY'VE GROWN
COMES TUMBLIN' DOWN
THAT THING THAT MAKES US A FOOL
TRYING TO HIDE IN OURSELVES
THE TRUTH BE KNOWN
CLUTCHED WITHIN THE POWER'S HE HOLDS
THOSE DAILY LIVES AS WE WALK THE ROAD LIVERPUDLIANS GO
THE LINE'S WARN DEEP AND YOU KNOW
THERE'S NO TURNING BACK
FROM THE SUFFERING
BY THE HAND THAT WONT LET GO
NO REASONING
BEHIND THAT SMILE
WHERE THE DEALS HAVE BEEN MADE
AND THE FREEDOM REMOVED
WITH THE RUN AROUND
THE COMES AROUND TO STAY
