Beautiful South Bed Of Nails Lyrics

Bed Of Nails Lyrics

Don't think of what we can and can't achieve

Perfection like this can't be guaranteed

Hearts get lost… lovers leave

Lets just see what friendship actually needs



And if you ever do wrong I'm right behind you

If ever you may sin, count me in

If that devil doubt should come to find you

Count on me and don't you count on him



If luck should quit this town

If fortune sails

If conversation breaks down

If love derails

I'll be that back up call

If all else fails

I'll swap this bed of roses

For a bed of nails



I wouldn't mind being left up on that shelf

If I hadn't actually built, built the thing myself

But since there's only you and no one else

I don't get too wound up about my health



And if ever shelf may fall I'm right below you

In need of DIY then I'm your guy

If lack of confidence should come to know you

Don't let those tears you cry stop you and I



If luck should quit this town

If fortune sails

If conversation breaks down

If love derails

I'll be that back up call

If all else fails

I'll swap this bed of roses

For a bed of nails
