Backslider - Toadies

Bended knee
Nine years old
Waiting for
just one word
I was thinking of all the things my daddy told me of
sin and salvation, ? and dignity
all that time in the dark, just one word: BACKSLIDER!
I remember the day I stepped into the water
my daddy held me in his hands and pushed my head under
and said: "Son I am so proud" just one word: BACKSLIDER!
I opened my eyes my daddy held me in his hands
I looked up to the water thought I saw Jesus there
then, I threw up my hands and I heard a man and prayed
sweet Jesus don't let me become a backslider

Y aquí va un clásico de Madness...

Grey Day - Madness

When I get home its late at night
Im black and bloody from my life
I havent time to clean my hands
Cuts will only sting me through my dreams
Its well past midnight as I lie
In a semi-conscious state
I dream of people fighting me
Without any reason I can see

In the morning I awake
My arms my legs my body aches
The sky outside is wet and grey
So begins another weary day
So begins another weary day

After eating I go out
People passing by me shout
I cant stand this agony
Why dont they talk to me?

In the park I have to rest
I lie down and I do my best
The rain is falling on my face
I wish I could sink without a trace

In the morning I awake
My arms my legs my body aches
The sky outside is wet and grey
So begins another weary day
So begins another weary day

In the park I have to rest
I lie down and I do my best
The rain is falling on my face
I wish I could sink without a trace

In the morning I awake
My arms my legs my body aches
The sky outside is wet and grey
So begins another weary day
So begins another weary day
So begins another weary day
So begins another weary day...

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Black bird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see

Into the light of the dark black night.
