Backwards and Forwards
Words and music by Roddy Frame
Craze my hair and shine my shoes,
And kiss the kiss that I could lose,
And I looked at what I have,
And I have one wish,
And I looked back in your eyes,
And there were two words,
Backwards and forwards.
Here lies the essence of my peers,
Handshakes, hellos and golden years,
See it smiling through its teeth,
It's the whore who has to die,
Unhappy, underneath,
And it's long learned not to show it,
Get backwards and forwards.
How come when I'm gone I get the blues?
Or something special that I might confuse,
With getting gifts I'm not at liberty to use.
It's cold to the touch and older than I know,
And when the world's with me too much,
I say she comes and then it goes.
Could completeness still appeal,
To one who thinks what he should feel?
And it stares me in the face,
And holds me speechless,
And I look back in your eyes,
And see your eyes gaze,
See your eyes gaze into mine,
Forever.
We recommend: Let It Rain
Never be a heart that He
Couldn't mend each broken piece
Never be a wounded soul He would Ignore
There'll never be a time that He
Would ever turn His back on me
There'll never be a life He can't restore
Where do you go when you feel like
You've been forsaken
Purely forgotten, all alone?
WHat do you do when your dreams have
Been broken and shattered
Does it really matter to anyone?
Tere is a Man standig with arms open wide
Drying the tears that I've cried
Loving me and giving life
And there'll....
Repeat Chorus
Never will I
