Richard Thompson - Roll Over Vaughan Williams lyrics

Waiting till the dance begin

Carefully we come to speak the word for all to hear

If you listen, if you should

We won't be misunderstood

But don't expect the words to ring too sweetly on the ear

Live in fear, live in fear, live in fear

In the gutter, in the street

Off his head or off his feet

Listen to the scratchy voices eating at your nerves

Pencil ready, paper dry

Shoot the girls and make them cry

Run for cover, things are bad but now they're getting worse

Live in fear, live in fear, live in fear, live in fear

Is it painful, is it right?

Does it keep you warm at night?

Fool your friends and fool yourself, the choice is crystal clear

If you break it on your knee

Better men might disagree

Do you laugh or do you stick your finger in your ear?

Live in fear, live in fear, live in fear, live in fear
