Lokomotiv Stockport: Music
Taliban Love Song
(Lokomotiv Stockport)
don't write a song
pick up the phone
you'll soon be dead
don't write a symphony
talk to me instead
God hears you prayers
but you tell everyone else and they don't care
and she loves you
love her too
not yourself
and shut your mouth
please be still
life and death
is beautiful enough
without your point of view
truth dying on the page words fallen from grace
as they fall from your mouth
so don't throw it all away by writing a play
act it out
you capture words
like butterflies
they have to die
to go in your book
so don't take photograph take a look
take a good look
and shut your mouth
please be still
life and death's
mysterious enough
without you shouting out
don't write a song
pick up the phone
you'll soon be dead
don't keep a diary remember me instead
God hears your prayers
but you tell everyone else and they don't care
and she loves you
love her too
not yourself
and shut your mouth
