Sackville
Inspiral Carpets

You once had a home, a jobnA family and pridenBut we all have a price we'll paynWhen things go wrong insidenDon't wear diamondsnAnd now you don't wear goldnAnd in the bruises on your facenThere's stories to be toldnIn the shadow of a cold stonenFreezing to the bonenBut you keep a warm fire burning in your souln'Cause you're gonna spend a black nightnConsole a sad mannIn a hungry city with a million hungry heartsnnWhen you stand in SackvillenIt's a different world from the onenYou knew where littlenBoys meet little girlsnnAs you tread your pathnThrough a jaundiced corridornWhere each day has no beginning and no endnThere are those out herenWho claim to be so goodnI suspect that Jesus holidayed in HellnOh what you'd do for a hot drinknOr a warm coatnOr what you'd givenFor a means to get you outta herenIt rains upon your headnLines on your face becomenRivers into which you cry your secret tears, secret tearsnSecret tears, secret tearsnnWhen you stand in SackvillenIt's a different world from the onenYou knew where littlenBoys meet little girlsnnThe first night we saw younWe were laughing at younWe were hanging on the side of the CortinanOh yeah you seemed so strongnStronger than a man could ever benLaughing with your sisters in the rainnDancing on a curbstonenWhen last you saw hernBut when the trick goes wrong there's no one there to help hernThere's not a thing that I can do about itnI guess I'll just go home and write a song about itnSong about itnWrite about itnWrite about itnnWhen you stand in SackvillenIt's a different world from the onenYou knew where littlenBoys meet little girlsnIt's a cold and trembling girlnLeans into a strange carnNods unspoken words to an unseennDriver sitting there
