Buried in the Backyard versuri

Versuri Dave Dobbyn – Buried in the Backyard lyrics

Monkeys do leap on backs
When they get there it’s parrot-fashion
I wouldn’t talk like a stranger
If you knew what could be buried in the backyard

Darkness is just hidden by the light
Sometimes I’m paralysed by the fright of it
I don’t mean to be alarmist
But the things that people bury in the backyard

O angels in armchairs
With a lust for demons and bad news
Kill the princess
Put her out of her misery
Do me a favour
Lock all the doors
And tell me it’s just the blues –
Just the blues

You gave me a violent mind
How much of this is honesty
I feel such a stranger
I thought I was a man of peace

O angels in armchairs
With a lust for demons and bad news
Kill the princess
Put her out of her misery
Do me a favour
Lock all the doors
And tell me it’s just the blues –
Just the blues

O angels in armchairs
Making less of history
Kill the princess
Put her out of her misery
Do me a favour
Lock all the doors
And tell me it’s just the blues –
Just the blues
Tell me it’s just the blues
