Roddy Frame - Pillar to Post lyrics

Once I was happy in happy extremes These bitter tokens are worthless to me So you appear and say how I've grown Fill me up with faces I've known In this light they're far from divine I'll save them up and spend them when I have time The salted taste of all your tears and woes Sent me in haste my melancholy rose Those tasteless lips were closed You watched me come, you'll see me go Once I was happy in happy extremes Packing my bags for the path of the free From pillar to post I am driven it seems These bitter tokens are worthless to me Just like June the curtains are closed The ghost of shame he sits here and sighs I'll love the flames like I've loved the cold I'll learn to love the life of the "could I, could I, could I" So I don't cross my fingers any more You looked for rags and found them at your door How could you ask for more Than everything you've heard before? Once I was happy in happy extremes Packing my bags for the path of the free From pillar to post I am driven it seems These bitter tokens are worthless to me Once I was happy in happy extremes Packing my bags for the path of the free From pillar to post I am driven it seems These bitter tokens are worthless to me Once I was happy in happy extremes Packing my bags for the path of the free From pillar to post I am driven it seems These bitter tokens are worthless to me
