So come now please don't make me laugh
The wicked lay stones in my path
And friends who are snakes in the grass
I felt the warmth of you in summer days gone by
The waves they rock the boat
You smiled at me and closed your eyes
I won't bow down, I won't kow tow
Won't be seen to, won't be lied to
I won't turn tail, won't be blackmailed by you
And I can see through you like glass
So come now please don't make me laugh
I hear the country church bells ring for you
I see the church choir rise and sing for you
But I'll be leaving soon, I'm off at high noon
I've got a heavy heart, we touch a long past
I won't bow down, I won't kow tow
Won't be seen to, won't be lied to
I won't turn tail, won't be blackmailed
But if you think of me
Think something sweet of me
I look around in rage
There's nothing left
There's nothing saved
Some memories, a photograph
The future looms, so damn the past
I don't want you, I don't need you
I won't bow down, I won't kow tow
I won't turn tail, I won't be blackmailed
Won't be seen to, won't be lied to
Ohh, ooh, ooh
And I just don't do things by halves So come now please don't make me laugh The wicked lay stones in my path And friends who are snakes in the grass I felt the warmth of you in summer days gone by The waves they rock the boat You smiled at me and closed your eyes I won't bow down, I won't kow tow Won't be seen to, won't be lied to I won't turn tail, won't be blackmailed by you And I can see through you like glass So come now please don't make me laugh I hear the country church bells ring for you I see the church choir rise and sing for you But I'll be leaving soon, I'm off at high noon I've got a heavy heart, we touch a long past I won't bow down, I won't kow tow Won't be seen to, won't be lied to I won't turn tail, won't be blackmailed But if you think of me Think something sweet of me I look around in rage There's nothing left There's nothing saved Some memories, a photograph The future looms, so damn the past I don't want you, I don't need you I won't bow down, I won't kow tow I won't turn tail, I won't be blackmailed Won't be seen to, won't be lied to Ohh, ooh, ooh Explain Request ×
