LYRICS APRIL TENTH

It was April the tenth

I remember it well

It was so cold that year

It was colder than hell

And things haven’t been good

For you for a while

'Cause I’d been on tour

I hadn’t heard.

Ruth dropped in/The roof dropped in

With the letter you wrote

And I read it aloud

To prove that I could

And we were both laughing

‘Cause we know well how you are

We never thought

That you'd quit on us good

We thought that we knew you

Well I guess that we don’t.

Are you having me on?

Just like the past

We called you the ‘black penny’

Remember that?

The sea is wide

The streets are long

There’s blood on all our hands

With the catalyst gone

And only what’s left to us

Is history built on dust

And sweating and poets’ words/ Our sweat and poet's words

Great nations and governments

Sweet lies and victories

Eager and keen to please

Those turkeys are everywhere

With their thousand yards stare

We all end up the same

Like little lambs to meet their end.
