标签: A Penny for the Band

  • A Penny for the Band

    00:00/00:00
    Another Shirley Temple, 
    Another Caine and Able, 
    There's nothing out the window, 
    And nothing on the table. 
    This life is like a sad list 
    Strong across the Nation, 
    If I miss you at the soundcheck, 
    I'll see you at the station. 
    There's a beast inside of me, 
    And he's not bad a company 
    But he speaks in tongues I can never understand, 
    He says it's one more show and a penny for the band. 
    Keep everybody dancing, 
    Keep everybody spending, 
    I know I am not a good man, 
    But I can keep pretending. 
    I made it in a doorway, 
    Dress is like a dark vale, 
    But I'm not going your way, 
    I'm going back to heartache. 
    With a bottle of Burgundy, 
    Where she waits on the balcony, 
    With a northern wish and a daisy in her hand, 
    To send me all her love and a penny for the band. 
    There's a beast inside of me, 
    And I miss my family, 
    All these pages and these stages made of sand, 
    Still, it's one more show and a penny for the band, 
    One more show and a penny for the band
