That Golden Rule

Biffy Clyro · Only Revolutions [2009]

Son of Henry, I'm the first in line

To the throne, smell my mustard gas

I slash swords through your wooden spine

Well it cut my heart and it broke my hand



We made love at the side of the road

the rains lashing better row this boat fast

This pretty river is particularly sinister

Close your eyes and take my hand



I want to scream one last death medley

Im looking for a reason to secure a forward motion



Chorus

Love that golden rule, that golden rule

Need that golden rule, that golden rule

Secrets are the truth, they are the truth

I need that silver rule, that silver rule



im Face to face with a ball and chain

my bulbous heads flapping til its red.

I tell my secrets and expose my pain

ive had a broken heart and I wont do it again

Son of Henry, I'm the first in line

To the throne, smell my mustard gas

I slash swords through your wooden spine

Well it cut my heart and it broke my hand



I want to scream one last death medley

I am looking for a reason to secure a forward motion



Love that golden rule that golden rule

Need that golden rule that golden rule

Secrets are the truth they are the truth

i need that silver rule that silver rule
