Horseback 03:17
whenever we look at old timers on horseback in love i can't stop myself wanting to turn back the clock whenever the power is cut at the station i pray that it never will come back where did we go wrong? but we don't want to be smashing the machinery just yet i want to live, don't want to die more cash into the art of pretending that we can't stop death i want to live, don't want to die so nobody gets what I didn't when I was your age i don't care to be young, I just don't want to die but we don't want to be smashing the machinery just yet i want to live, don't want to die more cash into the art of pretending that we can't stop death i want to live, don't want to die

I've got an axe in my garage, you've got 'The Queen is Dead on vinyl' and I know you're not the type to work alone so how about we get together as we don't need no reason cut through the red-shirted queen's guard and keep an eye out for the damned double-O seven, he's sly, shoot him on sight the head, her head, restin' on a pillow we don't need no reason to be the ones you charge with treason we never tried to hide it from you the royal hunt is on, beheadin' season we will live our days out rotting in a dungeon, tied down with chains and I know there will be a protest singer calling for our release but he should know we don't need no reason to be the ones you charge with treason we never tried to hide it from you the royal hunt is on, beheadin' season we don't need no reason to be the ones you charge with treason we never tried to hide it from you the royal hunt is on, beheadin' season

I've got to work Saturdays again, there goes my weekend I've got to work Saturdays again, my social life is sickening it's just a small part of my life it's just a small part of my life I've got to work all day in the rain, I wonder how I manage to keep staying sane working with all those stupid twats tying my knickers in a knot it's just a small part of my life and welcome to a small part of my life it's just a small part of my life welcome to a small part of my life I don't know why I care at all and I don't know how I'll carry on, how do I carry on? 'cause it's just a small part of my life it's just a small part of my life it's just a small part of my life it's just a small part of my life
