Arthur Beatrice - Ornament & Safeguard lyrics

Window wetter All tarmac laying slick Be found beneath some sort Of public transport Enormous ceramics Stained as teeth A country coming cold Shows what I do as a woman I do as a man I howl for the heavens To hear where I am I've tried being clever It's given me hold nowhere I've tried saying nothing But I'm still there Oh you may catch some drift Be rolling down that dear Slope which sees you piled up And distant cleaner air Or a tempered sweater And trainers wearing thin The so familiar sound Of wailing when you're asleep What I do as a woman I do as a man I howl for the heavens To hear where I am I've tried being clever It's given me hold nowhere I've tried saying nothing But I'm still there Oh the terrible fact is its closer The end of the world as we're older Blow cover There's nothing for you to decide Here, the time that we waste rubbing shoulders Just wearing away years Slow brother Becoming the ones we deride What I do as a woman I do as a man I howl for the heavens To hear where I am I've tried being clever It's given me hold nowhere I've tried saying nothing But I'm still there But I'm still there But I'm still there What I do as a woman I do as a man I howl for the heavens To hear where I am I've tried being clever It's given me hold nowhere I've tried saying nothing But I'm still there What I do as a woman I do as a man I howl for the heavens To hear where I am I've tried being clever It's given me hold nowhere I've tried saying nothing But I'm still there
