Anything Other Than Kind Lyrics

Anything Other Than Kind - Butcher Boy
from "React Or Die" Butcher-Boy.co.uk
Capo - 3rd fret
The belly or the bully will pull the boy to me, we're swelling in the sea. Teeth and fingernails
strip the shell clean, thread my buttons and beads. C F Bm F#
And if the house is sadder when I leave you on your own just build another home -
stubborn Billy-goat!
Bitter to the bone, chopping timber and stone. C F Bm F#
Forgive this request, see I'm bleeding half to death. For days I drift and land in your hands,
where all that I know is all I need to know. I take the pen and I write: "You are
anything other than kind."
C F C F Bm F# repeat
The son will gift the color when the ashes are grey on our mother's face.
Giving counsel and giving us a name, such a tender exchange. C F Bm F#
But if you're growing bitter as I lead you through the breeze just lead me to the field.
Scatter petals and bury me in weeds. Chop a cross from a tree. C F Bm F#
Forgive this request, see I'm bleeding half to death. For days I drift and land in your hands,
where all that I know is all I need to know.
But when the morning looks down on some river too shallow to hold or fire the ammo,
hide between the digger and the plough.
C F C F Bm F# repeat
end in C
