Turn Tail Lyrics - Singles - The Young Knives

These are my hands, these are brick walls 

Men can break down brick walls 

Men can break down brick walls 

These are my hands, these are brick walls 

Men can break down brick walls 

Men can break down brick walls 

Where are the spoils? Where are the treats? 

I've been worked to the bone 

I've been worked off my feet 

Head in my hands, hands in the soil 

I've been cheated and stripped of my perfect retreat 

We're all slaves on this ship 

We're all slaves on this ship, this ship's sinking 

We will not reach the shore 

We will not reach the shore, reach the shore 

My back is sore, so I sleep on the floor 

With the dust and the leaves 

That blew under the door 

These are my chores, these are my chores 

I must not show the strain 

We're all slaves on this ship 

We're all slaves on this ship, this ship's sinking 

We will not reach the shore 

We will not reach the shore, reach the shore 

This ship's sinking 

This ship's sinking 

This ship's sinking 

Turn tail and run, turn tail and run 

I will turn tail and run 

I will turn tail and run 

Turn tail and run, turn tail and run 

I will turn tail and run 

I will turn tail and run 

Turn tail and run, turn tail and run 

I will turn tail and run 

I will turn tail and run 

Turn tail and run, turn tail and run 

I will turn tail and run 

Swim to the coast, boat full of ghosts 

Jump from the prow, jump from the prow 

Swim to the coast, boat full of ghosts 

Jump from the prow, jump from the prow 

Jump from the prow, jump from the prow 

Jump from the prow, jump from the prow 

Turn tail and run, turn tail and run 

I will turn tail and run 

I will turn tail and run 

Turn tail and run, turn tail and run 

I will turn tail and run 

I will turn tail and run 

We're all slaves on this ship 

We're all slaves on this ship, this ship's sinking 

We will not reach the shore 

We will not reach the shore, reach the shore 

This ship's sinking 

This ship's sinking 

This ship's sinking 

Turn tail and run, turn tail and run 

I will turn tail and run 

I will turn tail and run
