Idle Life

The Catherine Wheel

Give me soap to shave around

Give me soap to shave around

With my guts exposed and slippy



Don't let them rush me

Don't hesitate

Don't let them take me away

There's nothing wrong

There's a malady in everyone

That keeps me away from the light



Shine, I give my first story

As I live the idle life

The leaping colour keeps your heart alive

A creeping glow beside you lava like

Shine you make your own glory

Come on take the idle life

A foreign guy I'm God's own prototype

A blushing bride who loves an idle life



Always above me

I light the day

Here rise the sun I embrace

There's nothing wrong

There's an apogee in everyone

That keeps you awake and alive



Shine, I gave my own story

Now I live the idle life

I know my foes may get me overnight

I'm safe and dry I'm God's own prototype

Shine, you crown your own glory

Come on take the idle life

Creeping colour fills your heart tonight

We see no others in our idle lives
