Lyrics
Ribbons and Blows
Ribbons and Bows are curling my toes
When I realise that they're not meant for me
And dressing up to the nines for another's blue eyes
Is bringing me down to my knees
So tell me where do I stand?
In this lie of the land
Should you tell me what I want to hear?
Or just pretend to be cool when I'm nobody's fool
Should I turn a blind eye and an ear?
Chorus:
Hear me,
Hear me,
Take it from someone who knows
I've spent half of the time being out of my mind
Cut to ribbons and felled by the blows
Middle 8:
Well you can pray everyday for the saints and the sinners
For the hearts and the souls and the losers and winners
You can look for compassion that's deep down within us
But they'll never choose love over gold
I can see where I stand
In this lie of the land
But it's not where I wanted to be
And though I know I'm a fool
Still I play by the rules
That's the way it was destined to be
