Threads - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

You've been tripped up before

It feels better every time

Your old hands and your sunburn

All your sagging flesh and it's a shame but for

I broke my body and my soul for you

I wasted all my youth on you

You wasted everything you had

Knowing one day you'd become

Everything was easy when time was on your side

And it's a shame but you're

You are caught out

You were built to die

Caught with your pants round your ankles

So now you're camera shy

And don't you feel ashamed to have reached the ripe old age

Isn't it bad enough they'll be packing you up, sending you away

And soon enough they'll be saying your cute but

You had a career

I broke my body and my soul for you

I wasted all my youth on you

I broke my body and my soul for you

I wasted all my youth on you
