Beautiful South - Never Lost A Chicken To A Fox lyrics

There he stood, gun in hand At the door, the day she chose to leave Half of him stood comforting The other half that couldn't quite believe Believe that she had left him Believe that she had found another love Believe that she decided When push came to shove, she'd really shove Friendship after friendship Can't begin to count the ones I've lost Voyage after voyage Couldn't see the water for the docks Lost my way up mountain pa** Couldn't see the signposts for the frost I lost every game, I've ever played But I've never lost a chicken to a fox I like that stick thrown into lake You watch as move you make Turns into mistake, your love away Like that snail on the leaf You watch as right beneath That cold hearted thief, your love away There he stood still hours on The only movement, the only trace The position of the gun And a single tear running down his face Inside he was screaming Outside you could barely hear him cry Inside orchestration Regulated outside to a sigh Friendship after friendship Can't begin to count the ones I've lost Voyage after voyage Couldn't see the water for the docks Found my way home late at night Couldn't see my bed for stranger's socks I lost every game, I've ever played But I've never lost a chicken to a fox I like that stick thrown into lake You watch as move you make Turns into mistake, your love away Like that snail on the leaf You watch as right beneath That cold hearted thief, your love away Your love away, your love away Turns into mistake, your love away Your love away, your love away That cold hearted thief, your love away Love away, your love away Your love away Your love away, your love away Turns into mistake, your love away Your love away, your love away That cold hearted thief, your love away
