★ verse 1 ★
Well here lie the remains
Of every girl i've loved
The princesses of heaven and hell
Who thought they knew me well
There goes my wishbone
Here comes my crooked friend
Screaming he knew i was dead
True right down to the end

★ chorus 1 ★
I was in a fury
With the judge and with a jury
You could tell i was a wicked man
Well therе was no one on the wall
But the stupid and thе small
But they always do the best they can
★ verse 2 ★
Well here lies mother brown
She always looked so young
I was never too easy to please
Always on my knees
Well there goes my last hope
Here comes my bullet train
Shooting the hole in my head
On the wrong right side of my brain

★ chorus 2 ★
I was getting ready
I was shaking i was steady
I was pleading to be left alive
Well i was digging for the gold
Just waiting to be told
If my cheating heart would survive

★ chorus 1 ★
I was in a fury
With a judge and with a jury
You could tell i was a wicked man
Well there was no one on the wall
But the stupid and the small
But they always do the best they can
★ verse 3 ★
Well here lie the remains of celine and lady death
A romance dreamed up in a hole
Another uneven soul
There goes my last wish
Here comes my audience
Pitchforks pointing my way
And it's no coincidence

★ chorus 3 ★
I was in a bind
Of the body and the mind
And my mother was the last to know
When i told her i was rotten
I was better off forgotten
And she never even said no, no, no, no, no

★ chorus 4 ★
I was never thick
But the thought it wouldn't click
So i never had the best excuse
You couldn't say that i was blessed
So they put me to the test
With a never ending soul abuse

★ chorus 1 ★
I was in a fury
With a judge and with a jury
You could tell i was a wicked man
Well there was no one on the wall
But the stupid and the small
But they always do the best they can
★ chorus 2 ★
I was getting ready
I was shaking i was steady
I was pleading to be left alive
Well i was digging for the gold
Just waiting to be told
If my cheating heart would survive

The Fratellis

The Fratellis is a Scottish rock band hailing from Glasgow, formed in 2005. The band consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Jon Fratelli (born John Lawler), bass guitarist Barry "Baz" Fratelli (born Barry Wallace), and drummer/backing vocalist Mince Fratelli (born Gordon McRory). Despite their band name, the members are not actually brothers, but rather chose the name as a nod to the crime family in the movie "The Goonies" with "Fratelli" meaning brother in Italian.

The band gained recognition with the release of their debut EP, "The Fratellis EP," which featured the hit song "Creepin' Up The Backstairs." This led to their first big break when they were invited to perform on Jim Gellatly's Beatscene show on Galaxy Scotland. After the radio show aired, Fallout Records signed The Fratellis and they released their debut album, "Costello Music," which garnered them success and earned them the Brit Award for British Breakthrough Act in 2007.

Following the success of their debut album, The Fratellis released their second album, "Here We Stand," in 2008, which further solidified their popularity worldwide. They embarked on successful tours in the UK, US, Europe, and Japan, and donated proceeds from their single "Look Out Sunshine!" to Teenage Cancer Trust.

The band continued to release music, with their third album in 2013 and a surprise EP, "The Soul Crush EP," in 2014. They released their fourth album, "Eyes Wide, Tongue Tied," in 2015 and celebrated the 10th anniversary of "Costello Music" with a series of shows in 2016. Despite facing declining sales, The Fratellis persevered and released their fifth album, "In Your Own Sweet Time," with producer Tony Hoffer.

Known for their energetic live performances and catchy rock tunes, The Fratellis have established themselves as a prominent figure in the music industry. With their distinct sound and loyal fanbase, The Fratellis continue to create music and tour, captivating audiences around the world.
