heard it said it s a stupid thing everything that i follow through never got to our god you see abandoned with the taste of the new and everytime that whistle blows i m stranded in my shoes chorus get me back on board pull me up with grace get me back on board let me be embraced cos even after all those words i want you for my own touch me when the sun comes up and tell me that we re home we ll take a train to the graves again that we can learn the value of life kick the snow with our shoe heels shivers give me a smile in the night hey honest to goodness girl i d kiss you with the lips of the lord but to be honest to goodness i feel i have to wait for the word and everytime that whistle blows i m stranded in my shoes chorus cos i m always always trying to be the archetypal free the strangest something went to sleep i buckled at the knees so here we go digging through those dustbins giving things new names chorus
