Beautiful South The Table Lyrics

The Table Lyrics

This table has four sturdy legs
And a heart of very near wild oak
When
others would have screamed out loud my friend
This one never even
spoke
I've been sat upon, I've been spat upon
I've been treated like a
bed
Been carried like a stretcher,
when someone thinks they're
dead
I've been dined upon, I've been wined upon
I've been taken for a
fool
Taken for a desk,
when they should have been at school
This
table's been pushed against the door
When tempers, well tempers, flare at
night
Banged upon with knuckles clenched my friend
When someone thinks
that they are right
I've been sat upon, I've been spat upon
I've been
treated like a bed
Been carried like a stretcher,
when someone thinks
they're dead
I've been dined upon, I've been wined upon
I've been taken
for a fool
Taken for a desk,
when they should have been at
school
Tables only turn when tables learn
Put me on a bonfire, watch me
burn
Treat me with some dignity, don't treat me like a slave
Or I'll turn
into the coffin in your grave
I've been sat upon, I've been spat upon
I've
been treated like a bed
Been carried like a stretcher,
when someone thinks
they're dead
I've been dined upon, I've been wined upon
I've been taken
for a fool
Taken for a desk,
when they should have been at
school
Tables only turn when tables learn
Put me on a bonfire, watch me
burn
Treat me with some dignity, don't treat me like a slave
Or I'll turn
into the coffin in your grave
