Vanities Lyrics by Mary Black

Vanities Lyrics

    Big bad man's law doesn't carry much sway
    When you come around here
    You can still scratch my back
    And i can still change sides
    Don't carry no torch 'til you have it in type
    That i'm doing okay
    It's only one man's outlook
    It could be one more lie

    Look at it closely
    Counterfeit mostly
    Yesterdays's brushwork
    Using yesterdays' paint
    And everything that i believe
    And every note that you receive
    They're just vanities to you

    Hear that liverpool wind as i'm making my way
    For the very last time
    Is this a resurrection?
    And do you really care?
    I can't relish no kiss 'til i happen to hear
    Your honeycomb nouns
    Let you down so often
    I'll do the same again

    Look at it closely
    Counterfeit mostly
    Yesterday's stories
    It's the same all over the world
    And everything that i believe
    And every note that you receive
    They're just vanities to you

    Busy little bodies have a story to tell
    Even if it goes against the grain
    Tiny little seeds have got an ocean to swell
    But who am i to rock the boat

    And everything that i believe
    And every note that you receive

    Look at it closely
    Counterfeit mostly
    Yesterday's brushwork
    Using yesterday's pain
    Look at it closely
    Counterfeit mostly
    Yesterday's stories
    It's the same all over the world
