lyrics

They were drinking in the Half Moon, playing dominoes for muck;
they were dreaming about lost fortune and the tips were topside up;
someone said they heard him knocking, pistol in his hand.
He's got some notion they've been mocking, pulled the trigger now he's dead.
There was lyrical enchantment when she sang a line or two, unplugged inside her basement through a balmy afternoon;
indeed, that tiny concert might have saved the bloody day only Lord, as luck would have it, she would never sing again.
Chorus: Forgetting my manners and that’s where it starts.
Only pockets and spanners.
Are you good at darts?
That's where it starts.
Why me?
Why me?
Are you good at darts?
There’s an echo in those footsteps and a certainty of fools but no calling cards or rain-checks, only lies and bitter rules: can you see it? Can you feel it?
There’s a point and price to pay;
At the grinding of the hatchet, he is come to pass again.
There's an apostolic number found his Christ and left its mark: don’t go thinking of stigmata nor those moments in the dark, only speak of resurrection, put aside the Burke and Hare, see it named as tired rejection and be glad that you weren’t there.
One hundred and eighty good reasons to fly;
around the sun lately the whereto and why: green curry for breakfast, discovering a knack, a muffin in earnest and signs of the clap.
