You lack the balance

lyrics

They told you to set sail with a mal-skilled crew
An ill-time gravity, you were terrified
They coated you with armour
Loaded you with guns and cannon balls
From the shipyard to the docks
The glass was jangling

They say you lack the balance
They made you too heavy
Two decks full of bronze cannons
Are bringing you down

Now, promise me you won't sink
Promise you won't founder
'Cause I'm not coming to look for you.

Your sails, they seem too high
For these waters
Your hull, it seems too light
It's crackling, it just won't hold

They told you to set sail
With a morning breeze

They say you lack the balance
They made you too heavy
Two decks full of bronze cannons
Are bringing you down

They say you lack the balance
They made you too heavy
Two decks full of bronze cannons
Are bringing you down

Now, promise me you won't sink
Promise you won't founder
'Cause I'm not coming to look for you.

This is one of the most mature examples of the art of songwriting in recent years - the music of a wounded and angry soul. ... more
