The Waterboys - His Word Is Not His Bond lyrics

(girls let me tell you what a liar will do He's always coming with something new He'll steal your heart...) He lives in the waste Void of culture and taste His eye on a prize beyond His every word is in the right place But his word is not his bond His face is comely His heart it bleeds Yet it's but a mantel He has donned Mark him only by his deeds For his word is not his bond I'd love to take him Out of this room And gently break him I'd love to see him dance! His protogee deals In confusion and fog Of power he is fond Wheels within wheels Like master, like dog His word is not his bond I'm trying to swim But i'm caught in the shallows And i sense that i've been conned Deliver him To the gallows His word is not his bond His word is not his bond!
