Only The Stones Remain Lyrics - Singles - Soft Boys

Men were executed, women bled 

Meat and fish changed hands and children stayed up late 

Uh, huh 

Coloured drums they ?displace? the night 

There's a taxidemist looking for a fight 

But now he's gone, oh yeah 

Only the stones remain 

Girls were decked with flowers and violated ?while? 

Boys spat juice from a, out of their fresh young ?bones? 

Soldiers crossed their hearts and died _____ pretty girls turned cold inside 

But now they're gone, oh yeah 

Only the stones remain 

Oh they're gone, yeah 

Only the stones remain 

And the stones have forgotten them 

The stones have forgotten them 

They brake your body and drain the life out of it 

It sinks into the soil while the soul flies up into the air above 

and when there's no more tears to cry 

There's nothing left to do but laugh 

State led collabarations collapse and cannibis evaporates, honey 

Only the stones remain 

(Here they going) 

Oh yeah, only the stones remain 

Woah 

Now they're gone, oh yeah 

Only the stones remain 

Oh yeah, only the stones remain
