Come hell or high water
Barry adamsonAnd me?
I got a bug to squash.
This tale's been told a thousand times
So I think that I should've known better
Than to supplicate a girl on pedestal shoes
No pants and a real tight sweater
I'm laughin' too but it's from
My embarrassment that I tremble
When she saw that I was just
A hopeless imitation of the man that I most resemble
And the chords ring so familiar
To a man who's heard it all before
And the melody will forever linger
Like perfume in a hardware store
It ain't that I seek loneliness
I just downright fail to understand
How a customary girl on pedestal shoes
Can all but destroy one man
I wished I'd licked her to the ground
But I swallowed my tongue instead
Watched her from the shadows with a hideous frozen grin
While she carved her name in my head
And some folks talk around the way,
Sayin' "B you've really got it made"
But I crawl round my room from night 'til day
Wondering if your star will ever fade
And I'll be here come hell or high water
(Love you like you were my daughter
buy you new shoes cos I oughta)
And only sometimes will my thoughts turn blue
Like the skies and every word is you
Now west of bloody sixteenth street
Are the remains of a man who was broken
By the rapture of a girl on pedestal shoes
And man I tell you that girl wasn't jokin'
I've killed my mind a thousand times
Now my thoughts stay firmly in the present
But there's a kinda ugly breach like an ocean in my soul
Keeps on naggin' me so incessant
And the silence is louder than a H bomb
That explodes when I close my eyes
Sending shock waves to the town you're from
In the hope that you'll stir and come alive
And I'll be here come hell or high water
(Love you like you were my daughter
buy you new shoes cos I oughta)
And only sometimes will my thoughts turn blue
Like the skies and every word is you
Like the skies and every word is you
Like the skies and every word is you
Like the skies and every word is you
