Frightened Rabbit - The Oil Slick (Live At Barrowlands) Lyrics
I went looking for a song for youSomething soft and patient to reflect its museI took a walk with all my brightest thoughtsBut the weather soon turned and they all ran offTook to the ocean in a boat this timeOnly an idiot would swim through the shit I writeI cannot talk about life and loveI've got a voice like a gutter in a toxic stormAll the dark words pouring from my throatSound like an oil slick coating the wings we've grownThere goes a love song drifting out to seaI'd sing along if I could hear over the oil slickSo it came to pass and I came homeWith four worn out limbs and not one love songHow predictable this is all you gotYet another selfish signpost to my ruin of faultsAll the dark words pouring from my throatSound like an oil slick coating the wings we've grownThere goes a love song drifting out to seaI'd sing along if I could hearOver the dark words pissing from my throatSounds like an oil slick coating the wings we've grownThere goes a love song drifting out of my reachI'd sing along if I could see past the oil slickThere is light but there's a tunnel to crawl throughThere is love but its misery loves youThere's still hope so I think we'll be fineIn these disastrous times, disastrous timesThere is light but there's a tunnel to crawl throughThere is love but its misery loves youWe've still got hope so I think we'll be fineIn these disastrous times, disastrous times
