You Can Call Me Leisure lyrics
Songwriters: Rotheray, David; Heaton, Paul;
You look a younger my beautiful version of death
But I m scared to hold you close or smell your breath
Now your body s facing east your heart is west
And you can call me leisure and I can call you rest
We can t stop thinking that we should ve guessed
We should ve held you closer to our chest
Cause our shoulders were put there for that test
Now you can call me leisure and I can call you rest
Well you certainly jumped the red at treasure chest
Your joyride didn t feel bad enough to confess
Till you placed the lemming on this family crest
And you can call me leisure
The donor of poor measure
The scalpel of all pleasure
I ll call you rest
It s what we thought God gave us shoulders for
Not to shrug in self pity or to ignore
Instead the helpless ration chances to poor
We pick your weightless body up from the floor
We pick your weightless body up from the floor
All the minutes all the hours that you caressed
Have been taken to a place that you thought best
If it s Heaven or it s Hell you re still well blessed
And I shall get my own back when I can call you rest
Well you certainly jumped the red at treasure chest
Your joyride didn t feel bad enough to confess
Till you placed the lemming on this family crest
And you can call me leisure
The donor of poor measure
The scalpel of all pleasure
I ll call you rest
It s what we thought God gave us shoulders for
Not to shrug in self pity or to ignore
Instead the helpless ration chances to poor
We pick your weightless body up from the floor
We pick your weightless body up from the floor
Up from the floor, up from the floor, up from the floor
