Edwyn Collins - Hope And Despair Lyrics
Now is the time
To show that you care
You were offered hope
But you chose despair
When it all comes down
You will crawl through the rubble
Of your one-horse town
But beware the false prophet
Who foretells of this doom
Sitting smug and complacent
In this mansion house room
Well he poisoned the bride then ran off with the groom
He's a wandering minstrel
In a bodily cut suit
Resplendent with afro
And electric lute
And he's speaking in riddles
And he's speaking in tongues
Whilst he plays through a fuzzbox
To an audience of one
And he's speaking in riddles
And he's speaking in tongues
But his words fall like snowflakes
Which melt in the sun
So now is the time
To show that you care
You were offered hope
But you chose despair
You were offered hope
So why choose despair?
