about

a real wild card - and sending this out in sympathy to all of us who have been really conned. looking back the signs were there, but i didn't want to see them.

lyrics

i’ve been thinking hard to get the measure of you
but thinking won’t pull back the pleasure of you

you turned up on the street like something shiny, darling

always finding treasure on the road

lying on my bed i cannot see the ceiling
cos you have covered us in clouds of bitter healing

fit to fill my lungs your scorpion death, that stung me

always finding treasure on the road

ch : lies
you told them by the million
and i
i turned out to be
so desperate to believe
that things were better than they seemed
that i believed

i could have loved you more if you had stayed for longer
but you had different plans and voices that were stronger

the letters that i wrote i know they will not reach you

always finding treasure on the road

ch : lies
you told them by the million
and i
i turned out to be
so desperate to believe
that things were better than they seemed
that i believed
