Roddy Frame - Release lyrics

Words and music by roddy frame Silver shone the rooftops, I heard the words 'you will' And realized that in your eyes, the force of love could k** So go and get your wages, get what you deserve When hope held out of it's hands today, you laughed and turned and fled Chorus: Release, 'cos I wanted the world, and all I could get to Was a gun or a girl Release, now I've thrown them away I'm here and I'm hungry and I hope I can stay The loch is overflowing, the sun has shed it's light And all that's left to warm your breast's the wine we stole tonight Bottle merchants both of us, overdosed on keats, we smashed them all And watched them fall like magic in the streets Chorus Standing in our new boots, we've lost the urge to hide We left it with the souvenirs that forced us to decide How we'd storm the palace, meet me at the gates There's plenty bread and water here for anyone who waits Chorus But you can't remember where you squandered your hope A fistful of dollars and a fistful of dope With your hands in your hair and your hair in your face You'd better summon your soul because we're leaving this place With a red, red flag for a souvenir
