track 2 on World Turtle's Alien Shore cassette GABC 8 from 1989

lyrics

Devotion (P McMahon1986)
It ain’t easy running hot & cold
I feel uneasy fever’s taking hold
My eyes are on the ceiling, my heart is in my mouth
My blood it is congealing, my liver’s flying south

Well you promised me the ocean but the ocean has run dry
You promised me devotion but I knew it was a lie

Mocking laughter, fit to bust.
Ashes to ashes, Dust to dust
Gold turns into silver, silver turns to rust
Well you promised me a fortune but you only paid in beads,
Then tried to sell your hard luck story, let me tell you my heart bleeds
You know it bleeds

‘Cos it all adds up to nothing when they let the curtain fall
If it wasn’t for my money I’d have nothing left at all.

You know that one day it’s gonna hit the fan
If you can’t take it easy, take it how you can. Any way you can.

Well you promised me a mountain but the river cut it down
You promised me a dragon but the sorry bugger drowned
Glug
You promised me a heaven then you gave a little hell,
Then left me with an empty heart why don’t you just take that as well?
