Version Coats of many colours (Compilation, 2010)
Lyrics:
paint your face and play it safe tonight
though the colour you colour your skin with will prove a fake
uncertain times, aching sideways
eat your smiles, kicking backwards fill your mouth with sand
your trust in me will fade before I brake my word
and leave you to your doubt
I'll look for shelter on these sunny streets
looking for something, a reason to be proud
you wanted too much, it's too elusive
thoughts collide and bring you down
lovers disappear and lose you now
you wanted to be too close and now
the walls are closing in on you
and now you look confused and strange
you'll never be wise
you'll always be broken again and again
and your sweet dreams will crawl in and feed on your brain
in this world of coats
you will always lose the game
an outcast in an ivory tower
with crumbling walls
crumbling walls
you wanted too much, it's too elusive
thoughts collide and bring you down
lovers disappear, lose you now
you wanted too much before you knew how to take a blow
before you knew I can only smile and kiss goodbye
goodbye
