Country Boy Lyrics by Jake Thackray

Jake in a Box disk 3

0

There was a place in the square and it was always there
Where the blind and the cripples would lie
Living their lives along one day into another
The country boy came to them and whispered his name to them
And shared the shame in their eyes
Filling their lives with desire for no other hunger
It was only a country boy, talking to a people in chains
Come unto him, you hunchback people
Open your hearts and he will take a part in the pain
There was a girl in the town who's used to sleeping around
Oh she was easy, ay, ay, ay
Living a life between the scandalised fist and the beckoning finger
The country boy came to her and whispered his name to her
Sharing the shame in her eyes
Filling her life with desire for no other lover
It was only a country boy, talking to a girl on the game
Come unto him, you yearning people
Open your hearts and he will take a part in the pain
Outside the old city wall there was a corner where the small-
Time thieves were hung up to die
Clinging to life with hands which have always been empty
The country boy came to them and whispered his name to them
Sharing the place by their side
Filling their lives with desire for no other freedom
It was only a country boy, talking to a people in pain
Come unto him, despised people
Open your hearts and he will take a part in the pain
It was only a country boy, talking to a people in chains
Come unto him, you hunchback people
Open your hearts and he will take a part in the pain
