State of the Union Lyrics


Sweet dreams all met with derision
This train, it was armed for collision
It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shameClap your hands in the sparkle and glitter
Shake your heads at the twisted and bitter
Oh they don't know how lucky they areFoot down for the alienation
Look on as your love, its gets lost in translation
To a language that nobody understandsThere are smiles as they erode and corrupt you
Of the great expectations you could never live up to
We are lost, we are lost, we are lostGet your coat 'cos the righteous are leaving
'Cos they can't work out what the hell to believe in
It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shameNo abandon, no heartfelt desire
No love could be worth getting fired
For real, it's surreal, it's so realSo paint over the cracks and then cover
What you thought was the worst ever pain with another
And the first one, it always comes freeHow they love you so cold and so vicious
With friends like these, well who needs politicians
The first one, its always comes free
They tell you heroin takes like ice creamThe clever men know all that and all this

And they will talk and they talk and the don't fucking listen
It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shameWell, it's no life but God, it's a living

Let the facts have no bearing on public relations
It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shameWhat a model of Christian behavior
Preach on with the message of, go fuck thy neighbor
It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
It's a shame, it's a shameWatch your step by the crowd of fanatics
While they kill in the name of applied mathematics
And you, you hate the system even though you invented it
And go kill your brothers and claim self defense of itPicking up all the secrets and the tricks to being
One of the guys whom the shit never sticks to
Take you seats for the final calamityDon't you look serious, hell, what can the matter be?
Another day and the rot is getting faster
Well, all the machines started killing the masterIt's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
It's a, it's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
It's a

As the LA Times said in January 2007 'David Ford digs down deep in the heart-and-soul tradition: an English and male Lucinda Williams? He puts everything into every note, every word.' David Ford recorded his debut album 'I Sincerely Apologise For All the Trouble I've Caused' on his own in his cellar flat in Eastbourne during 2005 thinking he was just "doing a bunch of demos". However, the strength of these recordings led to magnoliaMAM taking him on for management and shortly thereafter licensing the 'demos' as a finished album to Independiente for the UK and then...
