Lyrics

Sturdy and bright
Oh, giver of life
Are you witless or wise?
Government warning
"This lover may bore you,"
Tattooed to my back
Tenements fell from the skies
When love lights fell from your eyes
Flags flying high
Weary patient may rise
I don't think so, no
I don't think so, no
I don't think so at all
Not at all
Chasing the cars
Down around Marble Arch
Oh, a memory too far
Once lost in your eyes
Now caught between thighs
Should we ask for the bill?
Never did get to the edge
Never jumped; no, my life carried on
Flags flying high
Weary patient may rise
I don't think so, no
I don't think so, no
I don't think so at all
Not at all
Should I give you my head?
My kidney? My bed?
Should I run far away?
Those ghost in your eyes
Well, they cry when you smile
And it hurts to be near
Tenements fell from the skies
When love lights fell from your eyes
Flags flying high
Weary patient may rise
I don't think so, no
I don't think so, no
I don't think so at all
Not at all
Not at all
Not at all
