Don't Sing Lyrics - Prefab Sprout

An outlaw stands in a peasant land 

And in every face sees Judas 

The burden of love is so strange 

The stubborn beast and the whiskey priest 

Are hiding from the captains 

The burden of love is so plain 

Are they happy to see you? No 

You always bring trouble 

Cast a shadow on Mexico, denial doesn't change facts 

Like most I'll come when I want things done 

Please God don't let that change 

The anguish of love at long range 

Should've been a doctor, oh 

Then they can see what they're getting 

Oh no, don't blame Mexico 

That's the feast that the whiskey priest may yet have to forgo 

They ask for more than you bargained for 

And then they ask for more 

Oh no, don't blame Mexico 

That's the feast that the whiskey priest may yet have to forgo 

Rob me of colour, make the sound duller, but never go away 

Through teeth of sharks the autumn barks, 

And winter squarely bites me 

Don't ever do this again 

Dawn breaks in the southern states 

And blindfolded he rests 

The burden of loves last request 

That's the feast that the whiskey priest may yet have to forgo 

Oh no, don't blame Mexico 

They ask for more than you bargained for 

And then they ask for more 

Oh no, don't blame Mexico 

That's the feast that the whiskey priest may yet have to forgo 

They ask for more than you bargained for 

And then they ask for more 

Rob me of colour, make the sound duller, but never go away
