Skinny Wings

from Romantic Music For Perverts by Black Hay

lyrics

Is there something wrong with you darling? You’ve got to eat something
You’ll never make it with the angels on such a skinny pair of wings
I still don’t see the attraction in this place that you adore
You give all that you have of yourself and still they’ll take some more

You’re so eager to give it away
But you’ll never get it back, never get it back, never get it
So eager to give it away

There’s money in your skin and every second you feel it slipping away
There’ a clock hangin on this thing and every second you feel it ticking away
Ticking away

All this time you kid yourself that you’ve still got control
As the hunger racks your body and the cameras steal your soul
You say it’s better to sell than to pay but baby what you gonna do?
When all the competition is selling much cheaper than you?

Still you’re so eager to give it away
But you’ll never get it back, never get it back, never get it
So quick to shed that skin but you’ll never get it back

Why do you keep telling yourself things too good to be true?
When will you take a look at the world the way it looks at you?
With it's teeth bared out for you

You’re so eager, to give it away….

But you choose it, you choose it
You’d give anything not to lose it
You’d give anything not to lose it
but you’ll get nothing but burned

So eager to give it away
So eager to give it away

I still don’t see the attraction in this place that you adore
As perfect as you are you feel you need to be so much more
Thought you had nothing to lose and everything to win
It’s only when you’re bleeding that the sharks come swimming in

Black Hay London, UK

Black Hay is the project of London-born Gideon K and a motley crew of collaborators.

Previously described as "Worse than Leonard Cohen", Black Hay's music has gone from noirish garage rock, to grungey alt-country low-rock, via DIY house-bound balladry, to a current incarnation of cold-hearted post-punk indie synth-tronica.

The new single 'Always Be Mine' is out now. ... more
