The Leper Lyrics - The Conells

Words, shallow words 

and it all amounts to nothing 

sounds, it just sounds, a little phony 

yeah, its true I was the leper 

yeah, its true I was the lad 

yeah its true I was the better 

and the bad 

waiting for the part someone with a heart 

poised and pissed and flowered 

standing on the brink 

trying not to think 

I haven't even showered 

Yes, I am going to 

yeah, its true I was the leper 

yeah, its true I was the lad 

yeah its true I was the better 

and the bad 

And the world keeps settling 

in my way, in my way 

damn it all, damn it all 

And the world keeps settling 

damn it all, damn it all 

Christ what a life 

and the most of it forgotten 

listen to this 

and the rest is pretty rotten 

yeah, its true I was the leper 

yeah, its true I was the lad 

yeah its true I was the better 

and the bad
