lyrics

They’re burning down the alder wood
Sweeping up my dream soot
Finding bits of never coulds and always wishes
The villains down on Fourteenth Street
Suffocating the concrete
And their faces look so complete among the ashes

I need someone to help me break this family curse
Before I’m fixed for the company hearse

The factory up on Jutland Road
Where we’d go to watch the dolls explode
Now houses a different load behind the bricks and mortar
The Colonel’s villa is up for lease
Upon the door hangs a sympathy wreath
From all the ones who had the sense to leave
And left this weight on my shoulders

I need someone to help me break this family curse
Before I’m fixed for the company hearse

I really thought it was going to be you
But you decided you cannot deny it
You’ve much better things to do ooh ooh ooh

I need someone to help me break this family curse
Before I’m fixed for the company hearse
I need someone to help me break this family curse
Before I’m fixed for the company hearse

It really can’t get any worse
Now I’m fixed for the company hearse
