about

Originally on "Good men who happen to be bad men". Also appeared on "Stranger songs" Compliation.

This is the best character study I've written even if it ended up being about me.

lyrics

Well its your fathers name
on the gates of the factory
A rich boy slums round Europe
with a book on ancient history
and all your friends
theyve armed themselves so well
believ half of what they tell you
and less of what they sell

But i remember when they bored you
So it came as no surprise
That you ended up
dancing at their party in disguise
dancing at their party in disguise

You keep your pain captive
'til it moans and it stutters
history taps the window
with a pair of bolt cutters
so let the sun beat down
on the necks of the workers
who built your tower so high
with a view of the circus

But i remember when they bored you
So it came as no surprise
That you ended up
A shiny thing that glistens in their eyes

But i remember when they bored you
So it came as no surprise
That you ended up
A firework in bright summer skies
