Faces — Around the Plynth

[Verse 1] Woken up on mornings such as this Thought exactly the same as I'm thinking now Every night for a year I've slept alone Cold, damp room looks worse than me, no, no, no [Verse 2] Got a fear of death that creeps on every night I know I won't die soon, but then again I might Water down the drain, I'm wasting away Doctors can't help the ghost of a man, that's me [Verse 3] Water down the drain goes to the sea The pattern of my life keeps a-haunting me Moisture from the ocean fills the sky Come on down to the ground as the time goes by No, no, no, no, no (Woo!) [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] I never found out the reason why My parents had to lie About the place that I was born Or from my hometown I was torn At the tender age of four I was livin' by homemade law I never knew what it was to be late My mind was never this way I never knew what it was to be loved I never knew what it was to be late I never knew what it was to win I never knew what it was to be loved, no, no, no [Instrumental Outro]
