It Bites - The Wind That Shakes The Barley lyrics

One minute cutting back the ties One minute seems to signify Tick tock now sings the second hand This mortal coil is in demand The wind that shakes the barley free This faith you pour in industry Tick tock this comes as no surprise These clocks will cut you down to size Bridge: All alone, so far away from home How does it feel? All alone, a boy left on his own How does it feel? Vitriol, a toy he called his own So heavenly Oh the broken record duly runs its course When hiding in corridors, we're sleeping with remorse An ode to a wanderer who wishes we were free Come out, come out Leave the barley, let it be The wind that shakes the barley The wind that shakes the barley One minute I can see the lie Next minute painting our demise Tick tock now sings the second hand This century like sinking sand The wind that shakes the barley free This future tries to poison me Tick tock come crashing down the spires These clocks will cut you down to size (Bridge) Oh the broken record duly runs its course I can't seem to compromise, old habits are divorced Oh where's the sympathy when wishing I was free? Come out, come out Wherever you are, come out Leave the barley, let it be Where the hell, where do we go from here? How the minutes seem to fade Take the simple way and face your fear Come and join the great parade Where the hell, where do we go from here? Do we even care at all? This is consequence itself, my dear When we're headed for the fall The wind that shakes the barley The wind that shakes the barley No more will I believe the lies No more this moment signifies Goodbye I sing to you my friend Some hearts now broken will not mend The wind that shakes the barley free You won't go down in history Tick tock you'd best be on your way Just leave now, get the hell away The wind that shakes the barley free The wind that shakes the barley free The wind that shakes the barley The wind that shakes the barley
