Artist/Band: Shriekback
Lyrics for Song: Health And Knowledge And Wealth And Power
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Shriekback



Out of the same back door into the same back yard again


Over the same low wall into the same long car and then


Black wheels on a silver car big wheels go round


Panoramic as the open sea big waves crash down





Out of the same back door across the same back yard again


Over the same low wall into the same long car and then


Touch down in a different place wide eyes look round


On the devil and the deep blue sea one sun beats down





Health and knowledge and wealth and power


Passion and poems and sex


I wear a smile like a leather glove


I won't shut my mouth for less





Out of the same back door across the same back yard again


Over the same low wall into the same long car and then


Black wheels on a silver car big wheels go round


Panoramic like the open sea big waves crash down





Health and knowledge and wealth and power


Passion and poems and sex


I wear a smile like a leather glove


I won't shut my mouth for less





Belts and buckles and zips and chains


My sign, my style, my dress


My heart was made to steal


It's heaven, more or less





Touch down in a different place wide eyes look round


On the devil and the deep blue sea one sun beats down





Health and knowledge and wealth and power


Passion and poems and sex


I wear a smile like a leather glove


I won't shut my mouth for less





Health and knowledge and wealth and power


Passion and poems and sex


I wear a smile like a leather glove


I won't shut my mouth for less
