You Are A Cathedral

by Baker Island

/
1.
You, you are a cathedral Always used to disappointment But always disappointed But each time seems worse than the last They moved the clock to another place But I wasn't a crime until this country came along I've changed since I was dead I've changed since I was I am a bridge when I'd rather be Turning to see the word exit scrawled into your cheeks But I, I'm built to house nothing in particular And now I'm just somewhere to meet Rooted to the spot But I'm too tired to move They say that kid's a lump A moron set in stone Is there enough to pass as true If not I'll claim that it's a joke A joke that you don't get A joke that you don't It's a joke I swear It's a joke I swear It's a joke I swear It's a joke

Your greed for comfort Left you handing out advice badly You could not swallow a valentine For love nor for money Love nor for money If a silver whistle means paintings drip dry We can take a raincheck and I'll be your fake war bride Broken legs not withstanding, sainthood awaits me In the fiction aisle deep below the north sea Your greed for romance Means you might have to wait a while See you eyeing up that sawdust And those acrobats Those acrobats If a silver whistle means paintings drip dry We can take a raincheck and I'll be your fake war bride Broken legs not withstanding, sainthood awaits me In the fiction aisle deep below the north sea

You gave your heart to the National Health Service You thought 'with all that love entails Is it really worth it?' You just wanted to help people When you could have thought more about yourself Could have thought more about yourself Should have thought more about yourself Should have thought more about yourself Well I thought the best of you 'Til I saw the rest of you But you, all you thought about was health
