Elegies To Lessons Learnt

by I LIKE TRAINS

1.
It took a blow to the head And I realized what I Was put on this earth to achieve It showed me the way So make an example of me Hang me up from the tallest tree Make an example of me This is not the voice of reason It's the cross I was chosen to bear This is not the voice of reason My time has surely come I'm as guilty as can be This is treason In the first degree Now the gallows tree she calls to me by name There can be no reprieve for me now In this lifetime This is not the voice of reason It's the cross I was chosen to bear This is not the voice of reason Make an example of me Make an example of me
2.
Call off your witch hunt This time the french are not to blame Your justice is heaven sent I bid you farewell I'll see you in hell This town is burning down This town is burning down This town is burning down You've consumed and consumed and consumed The very soul of this city It's a sin Will you be surprised when the flames Consume you as God claims his retribution This town is burning down This town is burning down This town is burning down This town is burning down This town is burning down This town is burning down
3.
They said it couldn't be done And so it seems I proved them all wrong In spite of them I have become The chosen one This is the devil's game This is a holiday This is the devil's game It turns me on All I ever wanted Is a little revolution But here I sit With my head in my hands Lost in a sea of deception And this ship won't let me sink And the wind won't talk about England expects England expects If you feed them a lie They will take it and run And who could blame them This is the devil's game This is a holiday This is the devil's game This is a holiday

You could have saved yourself I gave you more than one chance "I Am Murdered, I Am Murdered" you cried Well, well, You could have survived I will rot, a broken man, in this green and pleasant land Your position can't save you now (Your position can't save you) You were the finger on my trigger And the rope around my neck As you were as well Your position can't save you now You could have saved yourself I gave you more than one chance "I Am Murdered, I Am Murdered" you cried Well, well, If the truth be told It is I that will meet my demise at your hands Mr. Perceval I am murdered You will hang a guilty man in England's green and pleasant land Your position (you were the rope around my neck) can't save you now (you were the finger on my trigger) Your position can't save you now (you were the rope around my neck) Your position can't save you now As the bullet flies, you cannot hide behind Your position (you were the rope around my neck) can't save you now (you were the finger on my trigger) Your position can't save you now (you were the rope around my neck) Your position can't save me now (you were the finger on my trigger) Your position can't save me now
5.
Fate smiles at it's funny little ways As it put pay to a promising career They prophesied of their own demise It was too good to resist It was too good to resist Death it is the end more or less As you lie here, does it feel As if it was such a good idea In tempting fate Are you sorry now? Are you sorry now? Death it is the end more or less Bar funeral trains and rotting flesh
