John Lee Scared
from The Given by Colin Vearncombe
lyrics
Have you met my girl,
The heart of my world?
Now the part that;s gone
And I'm missing her some
We count the cost
(But) we pay and pay
Spend our whole lives trying for just
one thing we're not afraid to say
If someone's watching, nobody care
Those who care, don't watch 'cause it's always there
Where the shadows run; says our time has come
And I'm John Lee Scared
I can't sit still and I don't want to
If I can't have you, anyone will do
The things I thought
Could always be thought
Had a price too high
For the guessing of why
You trashed my car
And you broke my nose
No, you can't make love honey.
If you've got no soul!
If someone's watching nobody cares
Those who watch 'cause its always there
Where the shadows run; says your time has come
And you're John Lee Scared
Excuse me while I disappear
Anything means nothing
But what you're making it mean
I can't sit still and I don't want to
If I can't have you...anyone will do.
The heart of my world?
Now the part that;s gone
And I'm missing her some
We count the cost
(But) we pay and pay
Spend our whole lives trying for just
one thing we're not afraid to say
If someone's watching, nobody care
Those who care, don't watch 'cause it's always there
Where the shadows run; says our time has come
And I'm John Lee Scared
I can't sit still and I don't want to
If I can't have you, anyone will do
The things I thought
Could always be thought
Had a price too high
For the guessing of why
You trashed my car
And you broke my nose
No, you can't make love honey.
If you've got no soul!
If someone's watching nobody cares
Those who watch 'cause its always there
Where the shadows run; says your time has come
And you're John Lee Scared
Excuse me while I disappear
Anything means nothing
But what you're making it mean
I can't sit still and I don't want to
If I can't have you...anyone will do.
