The Leper Lyrics

Words, shallow words
and it all amounts to nothing
sounds, it just sounds, a little phony
yeah, its true I was the leper
yeah, its true I was the lad
yeah its true I was the better
and the bad

waiting for the part someone with a heart
poised and p***** and flowered
standing on the brink
trying not to think
I haven't even showered
Yes, I am going to
yeah, its true I was the leper
yeah, its true I was the lad
yeah its true I was the better
and the bad

And the world keeps settling
in my way, in my way
d*** it all, d*** it all
And the world keeps settling
d*** it all, d*** it all
Christ what a life
and the most of it forgotten
listen to this
and the rest is pretty rotten

yeah, its true I was the leper
yeah, its true I was the lad
yeah its true I was the better
and the bad
