To The Lions - Lloyd Cole

I lost my girl on monday

Looking for some sympathy

I went to church directly

The lord was not there for me Didnt go to work on tuesday

Got to drinking around noon

I lost my heart to a mean bartender

She knocked me off my stool

Now the worlds spinning round too fast lord

Wont you let me off on the corner

You know a man could take to sinning

All he needss a little push in that direction

I lost my job on friday

Said a lack of discipline

I went to church directly

Peter said he was not in I hit the bar on sunday

Looking for some discipline

I sold my soul to the mean bartender

She said Im born again

Now the worlds spinning round too fast lord

Wont you let me off on the corner

You know a man could take to sinning

All he needss a little pushing

You time it just right

You could send me to the lions tonight
