As Lucerne / The Low

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Gareth] There is no blues that can sound quite as heartfelt as mine Lamented at the gorge of the river, I watched it weep its banks dry I hum the sorriest tune on the bar at these dives Send all the patrons running home to make up with their first wives [Chorus: Tom, Kim & Rob] But the low And to bask But the low And to bask [Verse 2: Gareth] My prose is purple but not as pretty as Lucerne For sweet nothings from the lips of a gargoyle, nobody ever yearned Perpetually a philistine, but darling, I am longing to learn Been looked at like the rotten grape on the vine While you and yours are drinking Sauternes [Chorus: Gareth, Tom, Kim & Rob] (But the low) is what I came for (And to bask) in a darkness I do adore (But the low) is what I came for (And to bask) in a darkness I do adore (But the low) is what I came for (And to bask) in a darkness I do adore (But the low) is what I came for (And to bask) in a darkness I do adore (I do adore, I do adore, I do adore) [Verse 3: Gareth] I am the magpie's solo, the sorrow that makes you salute Pounding the earth for the early worm, I am a glutton but it's good for my glutes I was solace to the sirens, the bait on the fisherman's rod The hook took me far from my family, but closer to God [Chorus: Gareth, Tom, Kim & Rob] (But the low) is what I came for (And to bask) in a darkness I do adore (But the low) is what I came for (And to bask) in a darkness I do adore (But the low) is what I came for (And to bask) in a darkness I do adore (But the low) is what I came for (And to bask) in a darkness I do adore (But the low) But the low is what I came for (And to bask) But the low is what I came here for (But the low) But the low is what I came for (And to bask) But the low is what I came here for
