Just a rough version of this beautifully poetic little ditty from the kingdom s finest...
VERSE 1
A postcard arrives
I see you re on your walk well I hope the promised land
Is more than sand and rocks and camels swapped for wives
Before you saddle up
Before your Judas knocks 3 times and betrays you to the cops
Spare a thought for our worries over your state of mind
So what if you leave behind some trouble with the law?
It s not so long since your attempt to crucify their dog
Your chosen one, the one whose cross will blaze on high
To warn us that meteoric retribution falls down from the skies
Well I don t give a about that
CHORUS
(Cos you cannot)(?) be still my brother
(An ancient memory)(?), Father, Mother
Don t take them down any further
Just cos hell won t leave you alone
Just cos hell won t l-e-a-v-e you alone...
VERSE 2
You swan in Craigtoun Pond
Clad only in your socks
And you ve ran naked in the snow
Upon your Calgary Rock
You ve watched us with the Devil s Eye half closed behind your mind
You know the day, the date, the time, but not the why
Well I don t give a about that!
CHORUS
(Cos you cannot)(?) be still my brother
(An ancient memory)(?), Father, Mother
Don t take them down any further
Just cos hell won t leave you alone
Just cos hell won t leave you alone
Just cos hell won t l-e-a-v-e you alone...
CODA (x4)
Gonna help bring you up
Won t leave you on your own
You know that hell won t leave you alone...
