Deft Left Hand Lyrics
You seem the type to follow the line
Went from cheery vagabondage to cold blooded luxury in four years
No lick spittle or pickthack from sycophant claw back flunky
Oh, i want to lay by your side
Oh, i will lay down and die if I can’t lay by your side
Weaker vessel or better half?
That Woman’s tears could be the death of me...oh dear
You know when she’s had a few she’ll be onto you there’s no letting up
But, I want to lay by your side
Oh, I will lay down and die if i can’t lay by your side
It may hap that these these are they - the golden years
So don’t despair don’t dismay dry your tears
Everything is for the best in the best of all possible worlds
I had a blast off with the cast of a play on the radio
They were more liberal times
Destined to drone in monotone on your radio
It’s a little dream of mine
Oh but comments were less than complimentary
And the deft left hand it followed the right
I think about my happiest times and one of them
was sat in bed watching a documentary on murderers
A bearcat, a memosa and a view of arcady
Oh, I want to lay by your side
Oh, I will lay down and die if I can’t lay by your side
Oh, I want to lay by your side
Oh, I’ll surely lay down and die
I can’t lay by your side
Oh, I want to lay by your side
Oh, I’ll surely lay down and die by your side
Oh, I want to lay by your side
Went from cheery vagabondage to cold blooded luxury in four years
No lick spittle or pickthack from sycophant claw back flunky
Oh, i want to lay by your side
Oh, i will lay down and die if I can’t lay by your side
That Woman’s tears could be the death of me...oh dear
You know when she’s had a few she’ll be onto you there’s no letting up
But, I want to lay by your side
Oh, I will lay down and die if i can’t lay by your side
So don’t despair don’t dismay dry your tears
Everything is for the best in the best of all possible worlds
They were more liberal times
Destined to drone in monotone on your radio
It’s a little dream of mine
And the deft left hand it followed the right
was sat in bed watching a documentary on murderers
A bearcat, a memosa and a view of arcady
Oh, I will lay down and die if I can’t lay by your side
Oh, I’ll surely lay down and die
I can’t lay by your side
Oh, I’ll surely lay down and die by your side

i love this song. its probably my favorite on the new album. i love this part:
Oh, i want to lay by your side Oh, i will lay down and die if I can’t lay by your side
i can relate to it alot. unrequited love, agony.
also this part is kindof funny,
I think about my happiest times and one of them was sat in bed watching a documentary on murderers
"No lick spittle or pickthack from sycophant claw back flunky".
I wish I knew exactly what that line meant.
dunno what pickthack is but generally im getting sort of 'no arse-licking from hangers-on'. maybe? x

best part:
"I had a blast off with the cast of a play on the radio They were more liberal times Destined to drone in monotone on your radio It’s a little dream of mine"
great melody line!
The second line is taken from the Voltaire work called Candide: or, Optimism, this work explains positivity then disillusionment with the real world
"So don't despair, don't dismay dry your tears Everything is for the best in the best of all possible worlds"
