Shackles You wanna talk to me about shackles? Well I found yours lying on the ground Beside the empty bottles of gin You'll never say the word to release me No, you'll never work up the spine That's why my life will never begin You talk as if I never had any dreams Well the orchestra's in front of me And the sweetest music will not play You say you wanna talk to me about choice Well you never made one in your life That's why we've gotta live this way Well I used to be top of your list now I'm lucky if I make it at all We assembled a life round a kiss now and I don't wanna hate it Ally, acquaintance, enemy Ally, acquaintance, enemy Ally, acquaintance, enemy Ally, acquaintance, enemy

Shackles

You wanna talk to me about shackles?
Well I found yours lying on the ground
Beside the empty bottles of gin

You'll never say the words to release me
No, you'll never work up the spine
That's why my life will never begin

You talk as if I never had any dreams
Well the orchestra's in front of me
And the sweetest music will not play

You say you wanna talk to me about choice
Well you never made one in your life
That's why we've gotta live this way

Well I used to be top of your list now I'm lucky if I make it at all
We assembled a life round a kiss now and I don't wanna hate it

Ally, acquaintance, enemy
Ally, acquaintance, enemy
Ally, acquaintance, enemy
Ally, acquaintance, enemy
