Nature Thing

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Rat catch an early recollection Of group disorder in our street With half bricks and sticks and things of which Whack me on the head Not quite hard enough or opened up To determine the nature of things Not quite opened up enough To determine the nature of things [Chorus] So hold still, still, still I'll pin you down So hold still, still, still I'll nail you down [Verse 2] So who put those questions there Coming at you double quick fire The first hit of political schtick Left a bright red sting Not quite hard enough a thump To determine the nature of things Not quite hard enough a thump To determine the nature of things [Chorus] So hold still, still, still I'll pin (or bring?) you down So hold still, still, still I'll nail you down [Bridge] Thing is you can't grow back what is mowed down Thing is your own backyard is overgrown Thing is you can't grow back what is mowed down Thing is your own backyard is overgrown [Verse 3] Knocks and blows and bitterness Fashion more much more than sympathy Storms of stones and sticks and half bricks Reflect how it all is Storms of stones and sticks and half bricks The very perfect nature of things [Chorus] So hold still, still, still I'll pin you down So hold still, still, still I'll nail you down
