Ive got the rhythm not the beat that he taps Raw to the bone where the nail now cracks He's got his lips to my ear making deaf man hear Ive got the nail in the palm of my hand Worn down teeth cos the bread was sand Lambless lover now laid How the legless prayed And he's singing in the choir And he's dancing to the wind Lying in the meadow Kill me father i have sinned Hands round the neck of this coward singing wreck Love is the rhythm and love is the wreck Ripple running rhythm rode into this crack Ive got the rhythm not the beat that he taps Raw to the bone where the nail now cracks He's got his lips to my ear making deaf man hear And i cry like a girl cos boys don't cry Kill all the wise men and let this lion lover die Im a prophet not a saint Im a coward and a king I cheat on hate lie with love The devil taught me to sing Hands round the neck of this coward singing wreck Love is the rhythm and love is the wreck Ripple running rhythm rode into this crack (Peckham street preacher) And he's singing in the choir And he's dancing to the wind Lying in the meadow Kill me father i have sinned Im a prophet not a saint Im a coward and a king I cheat on hate lie with love The devil taught me to sing
