Here On the Eerie

Here On The Eerie - Prefab Sprout

Written by：Paddy McAloon

It's much more beguiling

Than children at play

The mind meets dilemma

With a heart in decay

How they reconcile art with

What was I going to say

I called because

You're in a position to help

With a limited talent

But impossible wealth

How they reconcile love with

It sure is a problem

But don't go away

Cool critique of new Gomorrah

Or schoolboy crush on Che Guevara

Face yourself or give it away

Hearys grow numb and consience weary

Mutiny here on Eerie

Face yourself or give it away

Don't start pretending

You've feelings of anguish

If you'd prefer to dance

Please stop talking

Of things you know nothing

The truth well will make you ill

So chew on the safest

The blandest of food

And avoid the specifics

That might ruin the mood

A universal prescription

Continues to elude

Love becomes you

A happy burden

But life stay neatly curtained

Recognize that

It won't go away

Hearts grow numb

And conscience weary mutiny here on the Eerie

Face yourself or give it away

This star crossed lovers business

Astrologee whizzness

Go rhyme your runes in June

Don't turn tearful or mystical on me

I'm not your seventh son
