Cheyne Stoking Songtext
von Billy Liar

One down, six more to go
I am the man you wish you′d never known
I dug up all the skulls that you'd buried in the backyard
I laid them out in front of your house like a cat presents a mouse

We laid you down under the ground
I didn′t want to look at the flowers or the clouds
I couldn't even hear the silence all around
And I can never go back to our old town


And I don't know why I went there
I should have never come back
Trying a dead man′s shoes for size
Didn′t end well, no surprise

Cheyne stoking written on the wall
Not the way I wanted to come home from the war
No-one showed up to the funeral
I can never go back

We laid you down under the ground
I didn't want to look at the flowers or the clouds
I couldn′t even hear the silence all around
And I can never go back to our old town
