Church - Why Don't You Love Me Lyrics
Sometimes youre dressed in castillian vogueOther times you speak with a faux (false ? ) scottish brogueRuthless, relentless, pursuing your defenseless quarryNow you say youve been following me through my lives and deathsFrom the very first tears to the last failing breathsYou clean up the mess, you say I must confess you say Im sorrySome say theyve seen you outside of my doorOn dark, rainy nights when the light is so poorMaybe theyre mistaken, or maybe youre just faking evidenceThey think youre a man with the body of a libertineSkin thats so white, clean daylight has never seenI wonder if youre punishment, or prison or just providenceYou say why, why, whyWhy, why, whyWhy, why, whyDont you love me?How you danced with the outlaws in the old, wild westCarried a derringer under your vestI know with a sneer you claim to have been guinivereBut I am not lancelot, I was never king arthurI say once again Im not the man that youre afterThat was a different man, he aint been hereYou say why, why, whyWhy, why, whyWhy, why, whyDont you love me?You were there in florence as I painted the ceilingOn that old river boat, saw the hands I was dealingWere you there the night I discovered lsd?You held my hand through the straights of magellanAt the medicine shore, snake-oil you were sellingWasnt that you? wasnt that me?You say why, why, whyWhy, why, whyWhy, why, whyDont you love me?On the brink of the moon, at the foot of the andesThe mouth of the river, as we washed in the gangesPulled the arrow out my eye at hastingsYou washed my brow as I lay in a feverYou were the fulcrum, I was the leverIm not a believer, its just all your time you are wastingYoure a prisoner in a tower, a damsel in distressLove hold us in thrall, my eternal mistressYouve been wife, my lover, my sister, my mother, my maidMy partner, my consort, my bit on the sideMy darling, my sweetheart, my hope and my prideAnd all because of some stupid lyrics on the blurred crusadeYou say why, why, whyWhy, why, whyWhy, why, whyDont you love me?
