There I was, just standing in your shadow
Here I am, still yellowed by the summer
Still suffering in silence loud and clear
Just standing in your pool of shade veneer
Well I catch the train, it takes me back
There I was, just lying in the kitchen
We leave the rails and the carriage snaps
And they said the one thing you can count on
Just listening to voices through the tiles
Is you can count on nothing here my child
Well you dig my grave and slap my back
And I turn grey on the beaten track
You hardly notice
But you hardly notice
Talking to Joe with the head of a crow
What do you say when they roll a grenade
And it almost takes your breath away?
And it's all gone pear-shaped
Just suffering in silence loud and clear
There I was, just standing in your shadow
Something's not right (Standing in your shadow)Standing in your shadow (Standing in your shadow) x2
