The Cruel Sea - Don't Sell It lyrics

In the lonely streets of every town In the home of Mr. Jones The men all sell their souls to love But their women sleep alone The women sell their love For cheap. for security They take a lot of sh** just to get their bit But nothing comes for free Oh, don't sell your love Oh, don't sell your love too cheap In the flea bit ridden crossroads Of the fallin' livin' streets Old men stare and women wear Clothes that make them weep At the burnin' and of a satellite town Where windows smash or shine Lovers bleed take what they need From the deaf dumb and the blind Oh, don't sell your love Oh, don't sell your love too cheap Sometimes I get my feet stuck so hard in the ground It's like diggin' a hole, just standin' around Every single f**in' day that goes by, I miss too of My friends outside are gettin' fewer and fewer And I feel like I'm sittin' on a human sewer Mother f**in' nature like I never ever knew her Make the same mistakes over and over again And I stop to explode all over my friends I'm so scared now, I don't know who I am I guess I'm a man, yeah, I'm only human I've got no f**in'' strength of body and mind 'Cause the days go on just like I'm doin' time There's a soul s**in' strap at the top of my spine I gotta get straight walk a straight line Everywhere you look today there are people livin' lies If they can't get the truth they want They're quick to compromise s** a little bit here, s** a little bit there Till they think they're satisfied But their hunger for the real thing Keeps them crawlin' back inside Oh, don't sell your love Oh, don't sell your love too cheap
