The Levellers - Confess lyrics

My friend, well he walked me down these roads i'd never know

The salvation of my soul, myself the only goal

There were pleasures i thought i'd seen

and some i never knew

There were people dressed in rainments of an in certain HUE

And the chances i thought i'd had

many i missed

There were devils bearing gifts and angels on the piss.

For my sins i will confess and i will never lie

There's nobody that was ever here

that's never wondered why

And i'v lived my life the best, every second to defy

Will nobody that was ever here

grieve me when i die

On the first day i met myself, coming back from the third

I believed in what i was doing, i swallowed every word

Every word that i was told by the Great and the Good

I bit the poisened apple, 'cause i felt that i should.

For my sins i will confess and i will never lie

There's nobody that was ever here

that's never wondered why

And i'v lived my life the best, every second to defy

Will nobody that was ever here

grieve me when i die

Now that i come to it, i can't recall

what it was i achieved, just before my fall

I saw visions of uglyness, i visted shame

But i know should i come to it

i'd do it all again.

For my sins i will confess and i will never lie

There's nobody that was ever here

that's never wondered why

And i'v lived my life the best, every second to defy

Will nobody that was ever here

grieve me when i die

And i'v lived my life the best, every second to defy

Will nobody that was ever here

grieve me when i die

when i die ..

Will nobody that was ever here

grieve me when i die ..
