The Coral

The Coral The Coral Lyrics
1.I Remember When

Lyricist:James Skelly

I remember when I saw the sea freeze
But It said nothing about the birds and the bees
They were swarming around my head
You'd be better off dead

But I ain't going down like that
I ain't going down like that

'Cause I'm better than him and I know where I've been
You know where God I'm bound
And I'm higher to sin but don't we all sin
If that is the truth then the truth is grim

Now it ain't easy in jail, the stories for sale
Your father has died while he's gripped for bail
He points to the west and he leaves out the rest
And wants you to be his special guest

I remember when I saw the leaves fall
Into the ditch I fly
Wanted dead or alive

But I ain't going down like that
No, I ain't going down like that

'Cause I'm better than him and I know where I've been
You know where God I'm bound
And I'm higher to sin but don't we all sin
If that is the truth then the truth is grim

Now it ain't easy in jail, the stories for sale
Your father has died while he's gripped for bail
He points to the west and he leaves out the rest
And wants you to be his special guest

'Cause I'm better than him and I know where I've been
You know where God I'm bound
And I'm higher to sin but don't we all sin
If that is the truth then the truth is grim and stop


2.Goodbye

Lyricist:Nick Power, James Skelly

I, I look into her eyes
Saw through her disguise
But never realized
That we were longing to be free
Runaway to sea
Well, that could never be

Goodbye, don't say goodbye
I'd rather die
Than say goodbye

Once so very long ago
Was when I loved you so
If only I had known
That I was blinded by my fate
I traded love for hate
Now I just sit and wait

Goodbye, don't say goodbye
I'd rather die
Than say goodbye

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Goodbye, don't say goodbye
I'd rather die
Than say goodbye


3.Good Fortune

Your good fortune's gonna come to you
Obscure and lonely's only half the truth
Downright upright here comes the night
Here we go again so hold on tight

See the stars will pass the moon
Head back home for the afternoon
Men will sit upon the grass
Watch present turn to past
And hope this day will last

Your misfortune's gonna stop and say
Church and peers and musical chairs
Hop skip tooth pick money to burn
Timbuctoo that's where we will turn

See this sand??? turn to dunes
Head back home for the afternoon
Men sit beneath the waves
And watch the coral caves
And hope this day is saved

Your good fortune's gonna come
Keep that fortune on the run
Your good fortune's gonna come
Keep that fortune on the run
Your good fortune's gonna come
Keep that fortune on the run


4.Flies

This is an educational talk about flies

Ichneumon flies deadly killers
Collectively catching caterpillars
Hatching their eggs in the wounds of the wounded
Beg, beat or steal from whomever he chooses

Wooooh Ooooooh

Worker wasp familiar infact
Three sided needle illiterate cats
Sharp-toothed mandibles that work in the grooves
Insects protect and don't often like to loose

Oooooh
