In Shreds Lyrics - Live At The Gallery Club, Manchester, 1982 - The Chameleons Uk

I grasp at lifes fading light 

I need you tonight 

I need to be heard 

Your acts speak louder than words 

Ignored by you all 

I stumble and fall 

I suddenly knew 

My life meant nothing at all 

In shreds 

I stare down at the street 

Yearning for sleep 

That blissful escape 

But when it comes it's always too late 

The whore in my bed 

The noise in my head 

A hole in my pride 

It's coming and there's nowhere to hide 

It seems to me 

To be so contradictory 

It seems to me 

You count your blessings while they're there 

Ignored by you all 

I stumble and fall 

I suddenly knew 

My life meant nothing at all 

The whore in my bed 

The noise in my head 

A hole in my pride 

It's coming and there's nowhere to hide 

It seems to me 

To be so contradictory 

It seems to me 

You count your blessings while they're there 

You count your blessings while they're there 

You count your blessings while they're there 

It seems to me 

To be so contradictory 

It seems to me 

You've become a part of the machinery 

You've become a part of the machinery 

Machinery 

Machinery
