lyrics

I laid myself down on the ground,
My fingers dripping with dew.
But I wasn't with you honey
No I wasn't with you.
I'd been dancing to a different tune,
Seeing all the colours between blue and blue

I'd spent all day reading Machiavelli in a glossy magazine,
Jesus looked down at me funny through the pub TV screen.
Someone was pumping Mozart through their mobile phone,
An item on the news told me they'd just cloned The Stones
And I

Laid myself down on the ground
Fingers dripping with dew
But I wasn't with you.

Since you left me in the gutter I've been living on my knees,
I woke up pale this morning and now my mother's called the priest,
My fortunes took a tumble when I first came to this place,
I only did it baby to see the look upon your face
When I

Laid myself down on the ground
Fingers dripping with dew
But I wasn't with you

Well I was led astray by a bright young thing
Who gave me shelter beneath her wing,
She led me down a sodden path,
My blindfold slipped,
She began to laugh:
Her lips pulled back across her teeth,
She tore apart the earth and sank beneath,
She told me this deed would stay with me forever
And we'd share a bed in hell together
And I

Laid myself down on the ground
Fingers dripping with dew

I saw a man at the heart of a gathering crowd
With his hands in the air,
He was talking loud.
He said to us "You'd better gather round
And write this down"
He said "Love's not something that is so mundane
Like a view from a bridge or a walk in the rain;
It's an un-healing hole burnt right down into your soul
That filters out the same-old-same-old...
Or at least that's what I'm told."

about

Louis Barabbas & The Bedlam Six Manchester

Between 2006-2016 the Bedlams relentlessly peddled their peculiar brand of Dirt-Swing, capturing the imaginations of every species of listenership, winning support from the likes of Supergrass, The Mighty Boosh, Har Mar Superstar, UB40, Mark Steel, The Hell’s Angels and BBC Radio, inspiring stage invasions, dancing in the aisles and a confused mixture of exhaustion and bonhomie wherever they went ... more
