leave...misery behind
(i think that last note is played on percussion... but it sounds ok)
enjoy!
lyrics:
-------
batten up the hatches, here comes the cold
i can feel it creeping, it's making me old
you give me so much love that it blows my brains out
you need something better than the bacon and eggs
the creaking in the walls and the banging in the bed
you give me so much love that it blows my brains out
summer rain,dripping down your face again
summer rain,praying someone feels the same
take the pain killer, cycle on your bicycle
leave all this misery behind
my love giving me head, feeling very guilty,breaking the bread
losing my attention, taking the world on
so batten up the hatches, here comes the cold
i can feel it creeping, it's making me old
you give me so much love that it blows my brains out
summer rain,dripping down your face again
summer rain,praying someone feels the same
take the pain killer, cycle on your bicycle
leave all this misery behind
my love, my love, my love, my love oh my love
summer rain,dripping down your face again
summer rain,praying someone feels the same
take the pain killer, cycle on your bicycle
leave all this misery behind
summer rain,dripping down your face again
summer rain,praying someone feels the same
take the pain killer, cycle on your bicycle
leave all this misery behind
leave all this misery behind
leave all this misery behind
leave all this misery behind
