Waterboys - His Word Is Not His Bond lyrics

He lives in a waste void of culture and taste his eye on a prize beyond His every word is in the right place but his word is not his bond His face his comely his heart it bleeds yet it's but a mantle he has donned Mark him only by his deeds for his word is not his bond I'd love to take him out of his room and gently break him I'd love to see him dance ! His protege deals in confusion and fog Of power he is fond Wheels within wheels - like master, like dog His word is not his bond I'm trying to swim but I'm caught in the shallows and I sense that I've been conned Deliver him ...to the gallows ! His word is not his bond
