Palace Music - The Weaker Soldier lyrics

I once was a weaker soldier hanging in the war But I left, like an ape, folded neatly in four And silently played for a moment slow and bled On a sandalwood bust I had Where was the field where I had pressed another down Where I had revealed myself by crying and shouting? I turned away from that and into this Black kettle of one-ness I have not been feeling the same I am not fit to carry your name I am not fit and I am not willing To go on Sold, down the lane, in a way to restrain You from calling a name and then regretting If you save what you own you are always alone And then why postpone the good d**h? We are those who break laws when the cold body thaws Who prefer breaking jaws but must lower ourselves Unfit though we are to help you get very far Still we would never mar your rightful due And I have not been feeling the same I am not fit to carry your name I am not fit and I am not willing To go on It was noon before she moved into the yards and pressed her hair With a hand yellowed, smooth, and shaking She had pulled on a housedress over nothing but her skin And stood in the gra** looking about her You breath in here, and you've breathed of me My girl here, she loves you, she'll take you upstairs Call on me later, much later in life But do me a favor and leave her up there I am not feeling the same (I have not been feeling the same) I am not willing to carry your name (I am not fit to carry your name) I am not here and I am not going (I am not fit and I am not willing) To be there (To go on)
