Nigel Stonier - Me And St Jude lyrics

You should know better than talking to me Being my friend indiscriminately 'Cause I look like someone who dealt with it all But this heart comes fitted with a total recall This defence only takes moments to fall See, I've got this shadow who walks at my side He doesn't do caution and he doesn't do pride But he carries a green light and a rice paper mask And when I stop believing he takes me to task He says "you may know the answer but you still have to ask" And after the come-down it comes down to this A battered bouquet and a willing accomplice Lock up your sympathy, baby hold tight Me and St Jude are in town for the night Well, I threw out the map with the route to your door Re-read your letters that spelt out the score Oh, but my guardian angel, he works in reverse Faith is his downfall, believing's his curse He'll take a sad song and make it much worse 'Cause after the come-down it comes down to this A battered bouquet and a willing accomplice Lock up your sympathy, baby hold tight 'Cause me and St Jude are in town for the night Give us one ray of hope, Give us one length of rope What do you say? Give us one straw to clutch Any more's far too much There'll be a way 'Cause after the come-down it comes down to this A battered bouquet and a willing accomplice Lock up your sympathy, baby hold tight Me and St Jude are in town for the night Won't you lock up your sympathy, baby hold tight 'Cause me and St Jude are in town for the night
