Swords and Knives

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Roland Orzabal] A waking world of innocence So grave those first born cries When life begins with needles and pins It ends with swords and knives [Verse 2: Roland Orzabal & Tessa Niles] Oh dangerman, oh dangerman Your blade fits like a glove When forged in steel time cannot heal That blood red bond of love [Bridge: Roland Orzabal] In times of trouble you're an open book With the change in the way you look And it's sad love's not enough to make things better [Interlude] [Verse 3: Roland Orzabal & Tessa Niles] Turn the tables, we'll burn the fables Lies beneath the visions and daydreams Fooled by now, we mystify the past Like a dream, like it never happened [Interlude] [Outro: Roland Orzabal & Tessa Niles, Roland Orzabal] When life begins with needles and pins It ends with swords and knives God save those born to die
