Seven Shades

I was born as a free man

And now I’m tied to the mast

Like the strings of an old guitar

I bent out of tune too fast

Now as your temperature rises

As I baulk on the flames

As I come to devices

I hear the words that you say

Give it up, give it up, give it up

Oh, give it up

Are you trying to say this world's not beautiful enough?

Outside line to a collect call

Oh you say it's easy

You do it just to tease me I know

Now I'm the ghost of a thousand

Now I'm a million years

I've been the slave to the old song

That's ringing in your ear

Direct line to all you girls and boys

You say that love will free me

You say it just to see me give up

Give it up, give it up, give it up,

Oh give it up

Are you trying to say this world is not beautiful enough?

What’s it like on the moral high ground?

Judging by your face well I'm glad I never asked

Step outside the bar and kick seven shades of shit out of you

Outside line to, to all you girls and boys

Give it up, give it up, give it up

Oh give it up

Are you trying to say this world’s not beautiful enough?

Seven shades of nothing

Seven shades of nothing to use
