[00:20.34]did you ever have to do the thing
[00:23.20]you swore you'd never do?
[00:25.00]something filthy and impatient
[00:27.27]something churlish, bold and shrewd
[00:30.32]sit down my boy
[00:32.33]and i'll tell you exactly how
[00:34.93]i crawled right through
[00:40.44]gathering your confidence
[00:42.24]and hear the story of a man who came undone
[00:54.31]first you weigh up your commitments
[00:56.92]where your loyalties really lie
[00:59.14]and if you bump into jesus
[01:01.78]you just look him in the eye
[01:04.24]tell him that you're fine
[01:07.18]silently return to sharpening your knife
[01:14.43]and finally when the time comes
[01:16.58]think of who you really need
[01:23.13]and close your eyes so tightly think they'll bleed
[01:30.19]never drop your guard or let them know
[01:32.44]the thoughts inside your head
[01:35.25]just do what you've always done
[01:37.52]they'll all wish you were dead
[01:39.97]or crush your heart, your spirit and your soul
[01:42.22]but keep your eyes ahead
[01:49.29]remember when the time comes
[01:51.70]there'll be nowhere you can hide
[01:57.71]it'll just be you, your heart and your bruised pride
[02:05.13]never break the line, never click your heels in time
[02:08.79]if your heart's anything like mine that's not the way
[02:12.69]don't get comfortable down there
[02:14.80]don't pretend that it's always fair
[02:17.41]and your fingers crossed
[02:20.07]and it's not your loss
[02:30.95]so if you really want to you can stay
[02:31.65]you can stay
[02:43.28]never drop your guard and let them
[02:45.63]know the thoughts inside your head
[02:48.37]just do what you've always done
[02:50.44]they'll all wish you were dead
[02:52.94]they'll crush your heart, the spirit and your soul
[02:56.90]but keep your eyes ahead
[03:02.36]then someday when your bones break
[03:03.97]and you don't know gifts from theft
[03:10.76]drink yourself away one to my left
[03:17.28]never break the line, never click your heels in time
[03:21.10]if your heart's anything like mine that's not the way
[03:25.24]don't get comfortable down there
[03:27.29]don't pretend that it's always fair
[03:29.81]and your fingers crossed
[03:31.81]and it's not your loss
[03:34.42]so if you really want to you can stay
[03:38.88]you can stay
