The Lovely Sparrows - Devil in the Details lyrics

I've got a feeling that the horse and the rider are the same And if you whistle they'll come running But don't expect too much Or you're gonna be disappointed 'Cause the devil's in the details And he wants you to know he was framed For kicking over the chair of a ghost Who never cared to shake his chains Oh, what a lovely island We've made for ourselves Rene, your country is covered in weeds And another one grows every time you speak I'm warning your beast to be We are not as wild as we like to think And how can I be what she wants me to be When I can't even rest while I sleep Oh, what a lovely island We've made for ourselves I was beaten and I was tamed Like a lam who arranged For a fox to take her sisters For supper in exchange For the details on the devil And the ghost of the planes A look was exchanged Clothing rearranged You spoke of marriage I spoke of the sea We glanced around the room uneasily Spoke of a flower and how she tamed you What of the cuts and the blisters she gave you Took an airplane to unravel the true nature of this beast But your heart is like the prairie and you're married to the sea Oh, what a lovely island We've made for ourselves
