The Hand That Held Me Down - Two Gallants[00:00:00]

Oh the razor in your apple the affection of your glove[00:01:00]

The prison of your company the snake oil of your love[00:01:07]

The heights to which you drag me just to hurl your scorn[00:01:14]

The trumpets play the livelong day but they blow so forlorn[00:01:22]

Did you hold the hand that held me down[00:01:32]

Did you laugh at my expense[00:01:39]

When there's rust upon your ragged crown[00:01:45]

Who will stand at your defense[00:01:53]

And when I unveiled my weakness on your rodeo of tears[00:01:59]

You stood there so vacantly your fingers in your ears[00:02:06]

And you left by the morning with all that's left to steal[00:02:13]

But every time you say farewell there's breadcrumbs at your heels[00:02:20]

Did you kiss the hand that held me down[00:02:30]

Was your kindness just pretense[00:02:37]

When there's no one left for you to clown[00:02:44]

Who will stand at your defense[00:02:51]

But it's ashes Lord it's ashes soon we all fall down[00:03:25]

You take your place among the saints make not a single sound[00:03:32]

And hills that held our childhood[00:03:39]

The flowers grow there still[00:03:43]

You lay beneath them pushing weeds[00:03:47]

And I guess you always will[00:03:49]

Could you be the hand that held me down[00:03:56]

When I was sick with common sense[00:04:03]

And now your statuettes are all torn down[00:04:10]

There's no one left you to lean against[00:04:17]

And ever sence you epitaph was spattered on my wall[00:04:23]

No one comes to call[00:04:30]

They can't stand the stench[00:04:32]

But I still sing your praises every time the curtain calls[00:04:37]

The burden on me falls[00:04:44]

Yeah I alone stand at your defense[00:04:47]
