Strawbs - Lay A Little Light On Me lyrics

Watch my hand See it shakes Trembling as my life blood bleeds Comfortless Superfakes Offering their empty creeds That have faith or substance That change to suit the doubter To satisfy his needs. Rid me of your darkness Lay a little light on me Clothe me with your brightness Lay a little light on me Oh save me someone Lay a little light on me Growing boys Masturbate Drink the wine and take the bread Saintly priests Castigate Holy water for the head With shades of John the Baptist Who came intent to rescue And danced with d**h instead. Bless the good Curse the bad Some are wise Others mad Phoney profiteers suitably seeming sad Preparing for the kingdom Annointing us with wisdom Convinced that we'll be glad.
