Ed Harcourt - Lustre lyrics

Lustre in your eyes every morning Lustre from the day you were born Lustre from the ruby red blood on my hands When you pulled out all the thorns Lustre when you're lower than ever Lustre when your house burns down Lustre when the love of your life has gone And all your checks have bounced Lustre on the smile of a skeleton Lustre from a dying star Lustre when the past is a foot in the ditch And the future's too bizarre Lustre when your worries are lonely Lustre on the sweat of your lair Lustre never shines in the final scene When sticking to the script And I see the lustre in your eyes And I see the lustre in your eyes Lustre when the drunk owns science Lustre for the whipping boy Lustre for the sad sad troubadour Who throws out all his toys Lustre when it's having to think straight Lustre in the nanny state Lustre when nobody will leave you alone And you're driven to sedate Lustre in your eyes every morning Lustre from the day you were born Lustre from the ruby red blood on my hands When you pulled out all the thorns Lustre when the joke is over Lustre when the dream is dead Lustre is the word stuck on your tongue When all has not been said And I see the lustre in your eyes And I see the lustre in your eyes And it burns me to my very soul And it burns me to my very soul And I see the lustre in your eyes
