Lyrics To The Lions - Lloyd Cole

To The Lions

I lost my girl on monday
Looking for some sympathy
I went to church directly
The lord was not there for me Didnt go to work on tuesday
Got to drinking around noon
I lost my heart to a mean bartender
She knocked me off my stool
Now the worlds spinning round too fast lord
Wont you let me off on the corner
You know a man could take to sinning
All he needss a little push in that direction
I lost my job on friday
Said a lack of discipline
I went to church directly
Peter said he was not in I hit the bar on sunday
Looking for some discipline
I sold my soul to the mean bartender
She said Im born again
Now the worlds spinning round too fast lord
Wont you let me off on the corner
You know a man could take to sinning
All he needss a little pushing
You time it just right
You could send me to the lions tonight
