Edwyn Collins Subsidence Lyrics

Subsidence Lyrics

You may find as I have found

This place is neither safe nor sound

This house of cards will tumble down

As befits a cardboard town



You're lost in the ruins of your mind

As these four walls collide, as your whole world subsides

But you took it all in your stride

As a matter of course, not a matter of pride



So raise your glass, let's celebrate

'Cause we can force those hands of fate

No need to heed the call for greed, for acquisition

Now I ain't puttin' you on, this is my genuine position



You're lost in the ruins of your mind

As these four walls collide, as your whole life subsides

But you took it all in your stride

As a matter of course, not a matter of pride



How can I thank you?

We're forever in your debt

We'll bite the hand of fate that feeds us

Morsels of regret



You're lost in the ruins of your mind

As these four walls collide, as your whole world subsides

But you took it all in your stride

As a matter of course, not a matter of pride

As a matter of course, not a matter of pride
