lyrics

I found you in Spain, crying with pain, wet from the rain, completely insane - I’ll try to help you.
Send me to your cynics, put me under your lights, I wont dodge their bullets or duck out of fights – I’ll stand here like a target.

And I’ll be the Red Rag to your bull.

I saw you up West with a badge on your chest, like ‘I belong to him, he lets my heart sing’ but your heart ain’t singin’.
Its perfect and new, battered and bruised, another fake smile, another excuse.

And I’ll be the Red Rag to your bull.

And you think I can’t take it but I think that’s a shame ‘cos I’ve learnt to enjoy how they play this game – so place your bets.
Its walls and ceilings, pains and feelings, another door closes, it’s so revealing.
Oh lend me your powers for a couple of hours, lets see what they’ll do for a bunch of flowers.

And I’ll be the Red Rag to your bull.

Oh I’ll be the page that’s better left un-turned, from the book that’s better off doused in oil and burned.
And I’ll be the peg that never quite fits in the hole that was made by them for it – for you.
Call me a man who’s wasting his time - a peasant, an idiot, committing your crimes – a fool.

And I’ll be the Red Rag to your bull.
