You came to watch the band To see us play our parts We hoped you'd lend an ear You hope we dress like tarts But back stage we stand naked All the make-up cleaned away My poet sheds his pretty skin And turns to face the day And there's nothing to be done No nothing to be said Last night I felt immortal This morning I feel dead And the love that gave Its blaze to my heart Now brings a haze Be careful, I'm an axe victim Hung up on these silver strings Like wings, like time machines Like voices on the winds We hit the road to Hull Sad amps and smashed guitars Played badly at The Duke To almost no applause But someone made it worthwhile When shining with bright eyes They gave me full attention And took me by surprise But today the feeling's gone No, faded like a ghost Last night I saw the future This morning there's no hope And the words that I sung so clear Are now clouded by my tears Please, be careful, I'm an axe victim Hung up on these silver strings Like sails, like seagulls cries Like church bells in the night
