You Can Call Me Leisure Lyrics - Beautiful South

You look a younger more beautiful version of death 

But I'm scared to hold you close or smell your breath 

Now your body's facing east your heart is west 

And you can call me leisure and I can call you rest 

We can't stop thinking that we should've guessed 

We should've held you closer to our chest 

'Cos our shoulders were put there for that test 

Now you can call me leisure and I can call you rest 

Well you certainly jumped the red at treasure chest 

Your joyride didn't feel bad enough to confess 

Till you placed the lemming on this family crest 

And you can call me leisure, the donor of poor measure 

The scalpel of all pleasure, I'll call you rest

It's what we thought God gave us shoulders for 

Not to shrug in self pity or to ignore 

Instead the helpless ration chances to the poor 

We pick your weightless body up from the floor 

We pick your weightless body up from the floor 

All the minutes, and the hours that you caressed 

Have been taken to a place that you thought best 

If it's heaven or it's hell you're still well blessed 

And I shall get my own back when I can call you rest 

Well you certainly jumped the red at treasure chest 

Your joyride didn't feel bad enough to confess 

Till you placed the lemming on this family crest 

And you can call me leisure, the donor of poor measure 

The scalpel of all pleasure, I'll call you rest

We pick your weightless body up from the floor 

Up from the floor, up from the floor, up from the floor
