The Oil Slick (Live At Barrowlands)

The Oil Slick (Live At Barrowlands) (Live) - Frightened Rabbit

I went looking for a song for you

Something soft and patient to reflect it's muse

I took a walk with all my brightest thoughts

The weather soon turned and they all ran off

Took to the ocean in a boat this time

Only an idiot would swim through the **** I write

I can not talk of life and warmth

I've got a voice like a gutter in a toxic storm

All the dark words pouring from my throat

Sound like an oil slick coating the wings we've grown

There goes a love song drifting out to sea

I'd sing along if I could hear over the oil slick

So it came to pass and I came home

With four worn out limbs and not one love song

I predictable this is all you got

Yet another selfish signpost to my ruin of faults

All the dark words pouring from my throat

Sound like an oil slick coating the wings we've grown

There goes a love song drifting out to sea

I'd sing along if I could hear

Over the dark words pissing from my throat

Sounds like an oil slick coating the wings we've grown

There goes a love song drifting out of my reach

I'd sing along if I could hear over the oil slick

The oil slick

The oil slick oil slick

There is light there's a tunnel to crawl through

There is love but it's misery loves you

There's still hope so I think we'll be fine

In these disastrous times disastrous times

There is light there's a tunnel to crawl through

There is love it's misery loves you

We've still got hope so I think we'll be fine

In these disastrous times disastrous times
