Lyrics The Lightning Seeds

The Lightning Seeds

Bound in a Nutshell

Bound in a nutshell lost in our weary eyes

We're tumbledown people leading our tumbledown lives

Breath of life, breath of life

Could make our engines roar

We're far from power, north of desire

High and dry, hoping you'll send us

From your mouth instead of lies

A kiss of life for sleeping giants

Broken, bound and battered, freezing on picket lines

A colder frost can shatter and chain us for all our lives

But a breath of life

Can make our engines roar

We're far from power, north of desire

Tired and bound by all these lies

As step by step, open tired eyes

A kiss of life for sleeping giants

They spin our world from cruel to kind

And make our futures a downward slide

The strong get strong but still want more

But day by day the giants thaw

Tomorrow must be calling with an open door

There's no one left to start our revolution anymore

We need some flames

To burn down every door

We're far from power, north of desire

High and dry, hoping you'll send us

From your mouth instead of lies

A kiss of life for sleeping giants

We're far from power, north of desire

Tired and bound by all these lies

As step by step, open tired eyes

A kiss of life for sleeping giants

A kiss of life for sleeping giants

A kiss of life for sleeping giants

A kiss of life for sleeping giants
