The Life Auction - The Strawbs[00:00:00]

Row upon row[00:00:22]

Of drab colourless houses[00:00:24]

Bowing low[00:00:26]

Before high rise blocks[00:00:27]

Varicosed housewives[00:00:30]

With sweaty armpits[00:00:32]

Scrimping and scrubbing[00:00:33]

Their husbands' socks[00:00:35]

A limp polluted flag[00:00:37]

Flutters sadly in its death throes[00:00:40]

While crippled trees in leg irons[00:00:44]

Wearily haul themselves[00:00:47]

Through another diluted acid day [00:00:50]

The vultures stood outside the gate[00:01:06]

Quite unaware that fate[00:01:08]

Is never kind to those who wait[00:01:10]

In vain Their pride[00:01:13]

Betrays the means of their destruction [00:01:16]

Take my rings and trinkets bright[00:01:24]

But leave my eyes which give me light[00:01:26]

My tongue which gives me leave to speak[00:01:28]

The rest is yours and welcome [00:01:33]

The rest is yours and welcome [00:01:39]

The wolves will suck the bones they bought[00:02:04]

Those over which they fought[00:02:06]

Their elders always having taught[00:02:08]

Them envy Their greed[00:02:11]

Explains their total lack of conscience [00:02:15]

Take my rings and trinkets bright[00:02:22]

But leave my eyes which give me light[00:02:24]

My tongue which gives me leave to speak[00:02:27]

The rest is yours and welcome [00:02:32]

The rest is yours and welcome [00:02:37]

The auctioneer is seldom lost[00:03:02]

Our paths have sometimes crossed[00:03:04]

But he has never failed to count the cost[00:03:06]

Of passion Desire[00:03:10]

Is the whole point of his existence [00:03:14]

Take my rings and trinkets bright[00:03:21]

But leave my eyes which give me light[00:03:23]

My tongue which gives me leave to speak[00:03:26]

The rest is yours and welcome [00:03:30]

The rest is yours and welcome [00:03:36]

Now you have given cause to bleed[00:04:59]

You join the wolf pack as you feed[00:05:02]

But now you find yourself in need[00:05:04]

Of comfort But peace of mind[00:05:07]

Has no home for the loveless [00:05:11]

Has no home for the loveless [00:05:15]

Has no home for the loveless[00:05:21]
