Here Come the Romans - Cherry Ghost, Phill Anderson

World without sound

Can’t you keep the noise down

'Else you gonna make the baby cry

Over split blood

Heavens anyone would

Think you had an axe to grind

Baby look out here come the Romans

With their steely gaze they’re climbing on your sofa

Cheap veneers and a swinging brick for a heart

Forked tongues same song we’re tired and we wanna go

Home

Hide the swag bag

Quick before the tongues wag

Cross your heart and claim a noble cause

Quote the scriptures

Paint your pretty pictures

Fleece them with your filthy paws

Baby look out here come the Romans

With their steely gaze they’re climbing on your sofa

Cheap veneers and a swinging brick for a heart

Forked tongues same song we’re tired and we wanna go

Bad news spread fast and they’re spreading

They’re spreading like a chip pan fire

We must confess

We ain’t progressed

Since Elvis has left the building a mess

World without sound

Can’t you keep the noise down

'Else you gonna make the baby cry

Over split blood

Heavens anyone would

Think you had an axe to grind

Baby look out here come the Romans

With their steely gaze they’re climbing on your sofa

Cheap veneers and a swinging brick for a heart

Forked tongues same song we’re tired and we wanna go
