Go-betweens - The Life At Hand Lyrics

A ruby waistcoat won't hide my fear At 12:31 watch my teeth disappear People buy watches then tell the time By the punctual keeling and crack of my spine But if you're feeling brave And you're feeling strong Please pick me up and take me along And if you're getting tired then rest for a spell I'll carry you just as well because I'll take you to the life at hand I'll show you how to live the life at hand I'll give you give my life at hand It's raining it's pouring the doorbell's dead You're an artist with your body But you can't find your head With your first million safe in the mattress You've gotta give it up when the nest-egg hatches But if you're feeling brave And you're feeling strong Please pick me up and take me along And if you're getting tired Then rest for a spell I'll carry you just as well well I'll take you to the life at hand I'll show you how to live the life at hand I'll give you give my life at hand Go-betweens Lyrics The Life At Hand Lyrics
