Gimme The Wire Lyrics - Brutalist Bricks - Ted Leo & The Pharmacists

Oh, temple darling 

You have made my life so neat 

But a dirty old death 

Still waits in the bridle suite 

And oh, oh, I can't see around that bend 

Whoa, oh, in the end they put my head in a box 

And then they give me the wire 

They're gonna give me the wire 

They're gonna give me the wire 

They're gonna give me the wire 

Oh, temple dear 

I don't mean to be a thankless boor 

Ah, but as bad as its been 

I think I'd still rather have taken more 

So, oh, as you've eased my way, my friend 

Whoa, oh, won't you watch them put my head in a box 

And watch them give me the wire? 

Watch them give me the wire 

So, oh, as you've eased my way my friend 

Whoa, oh, won't you watch them put my head in a box 

And watch them give me the wire? 

Watch them give me the wire 

They're gonna give me the wire 

They're gonna give me the wire
