Babyshambles

Deft Left Hand

You seem the type to follow the line
Went from cheery vagabondage to cold blooded luxury in four years
No lick spittle or pickthack from sycophant claw back flunky
F* Eb C*
Oh, I want to lay by your side
F* Eb C*
Oh, I will lay by your side.
Weaker vessel or better half?
That woman's tears must be the death of me… oh dear
You know when she's had a few she'll be onto you there's no letting up
F* Eb C
But, I want to lay by your side
F* Eb C
Oh, I will lay by your side.
It may hap that these are they – golden years
So don't despair, don't dismay, dry your tears
Everything's for the best in the best of all possible worlds
I had a blast off through the cast of a play on the radio
They were more liberal times
Destined to drone in monotone on your radio
It's a little dream of mine
But comments were less than complimentary
And the deft left hand it followed the right
I think about my happiest times one of them was
Sat in bed watching a documentary on murderers
A bearcat, a memosa and view of arcady
F* Eb C*
Oh, I want to lay by your side
F* Eb C*
I will lay down and die of O can't lay by your side
F* Eb C*
Oh, but I want to lay by your side
Oh, I'll surely lay down and die
F* Eb C*
I can't lay down and die
F* Eb C*
Oh, I want to lay by your side
F* Eb C*
Oh, I'll lay down and die if I can't lay by your side
F* Eb C*
Oh, I want to lay by your side.
