lyrics

Troubled hands in the wishing well
Though the water’s dark and it’s hard to tell
Can you cut the pie into easy pieces?
Trim back the fat to be where the meat is?
I want to save it from falling apart
I want to hold it so close
Open it up find the love on the bone
Strange is the sorrow that grows

She hangs from the plaster, her wool up to dry
A face framed in windows, wondering why
This time it’s for me, this time it’s for real
A revival, a panic, hey, what do you feel?
I want to save it from falling apart
I want to hold it so close
Open it up find the love on the bone
Strange is the sorrow that grows

What’s the worthy rite in a relationship?
Where’s the sharpest knife when the tension slips?
There’s blood on the carpet, there’s a hole in your heart
If you’re not painting with blisters, then where is your art?
I want to save it from falling apart
I want to hold it so close
Open it up find the love on the bone
Strange is the sorrow that grows

BP's sound grew from post-punk and neo-psychedelic movements of the period — a la Joy Division, Echo and the Bunnymen and Dream Syndicate — and eventually stretched into territories inhabited by literate song stylists such as The Smiths. ... more
