Richard Thompson - The May Queen (Bonus Track) lyrics

Didn't you see it coming, if you loved her that well? Were you too cranked yourself to be able to tell She was damned, she was drifting, but oh what the hell You went missin' in action You were just there to prop up the bar Bask in the limelight from a shining star While you served up the poison And drove the car I hope you got job satisfaction The May Queen, she's lyin', sleepin' Crimson from her wound is weeping' And the one's who dragged her down to this Line up, her frozen lips to kiss And weren't you the guardian of the rose, come what may? Didn't you see the worm that was eating her away Were you too busy lookin' in the mirror to say The carriage has turned into a pumpkin You're out on your own now, your own kind of girl The soul of mediocrity loosed upon the world Don't be afraid, come on, give it a whirl Adequate always counts for somethin' (Chorus) They took all her babies, it wasn't disrespect If they died of anything, they died of neglect Pa**ion and experience aren't something you can inject When the game's got pieces missing Darlin, where've you been You're a sight to see Hiding your life of (?) with a bottle of Jack Tea Do ya' really have to ask Why does everyone hate me The sign on the door said "Gone fishin'" (Chorus)
