Tim Arnold - Tisbury Court
I was dealing with the devil slight of hand
Everybody thought that i was paranoid
I couldn’t love her in the way that she enjoyed
Summer nights too much wine
I cried and cried ‘til i was blind
I had to let it go or lose my mind
I had a sister when i was 23
She was a friend, a friend indeed
We used to laugh and sing together
Dancing on the front line
I thought we’d never
Lose each other, i love her still
But i gave her one of my poisoned pills
I’ve got lovе in a bag on my back
I wanna give it a spill
But i know i ain’t got a leg to stand on
But come to tisbury court and i’ll stand on yours
I had a friеnd, a japanese gentleman
I used to see ‘im back when i was mental then
He gave me money every night
Told him i was hungry, he knew i lied
And all along he wanted to be close
But i was in and out for another dose
I nearly broke his heart when i became a ghost
And those folks down on the lane
They took me in, they gave me somewhere to stay
They had magic, they showed it to me
Like a long lost family
But i crossed the line, i caused them pain
And now i know i’ll never ever see them again
I made my bed now i’ve got to lie in it ‘til i’m sane
But i know i ain’t got a leg to stand on
But come to tisbury court and i’ll stand on yours
And mother, how did it end like this?
Oh mother, you can’t make it better with a kiss
But i know i ain’t got a leg to stand on
But come to tisbury court and i’ll stand on yours
