about

Twenty odd years have took their toll...

lyrics

The blinds on my window are bars.
These records sound like slave music,
and jailhouse guitars.
I am broken and bent.
I've got this suitcase full of broken hearts,
letters written and never sent.
The blinds on my window are bars.
We've been chasing tail and vapour trails,
and shooting stars.
Now I am broken. I am bent.
I've got this suitcase full of knackered hearts to rent.

I'd say farewell if I could leave,
tear this heart from my sleeve.
This life sure took its toll.
Clutter and soul. Clutter and soul.
Farewell but never leave.
Tear this heart from my sleeve.
Twenty odd years have took there toll.
Clutter and soul. Clutter and soul.

The rain drops on my window like tears.
I've been scratching paint off of the walls.
Counting down the years.
Now my minds broken again.
I've got this notebook full of pencil dreams,
they're scribbled out with marker pen.
The blinds on my window are bars.
We've been chasing tail and vapour trails,
and shooting stars.
Now I am broken. I am bent.
I've got this notebook full of pencil dreams to rent.

I'd say farewell if I could leave,
tear this heart from my sleeve.
This life sure took its toll.
Clutter and soul. Clutter and soul.
Farewell but never leave.
Tear this heart from my sleeve.
Twenty odd years have took there toll.
Clutter and soul. Clutter and soul.

Can never make my mind up.
Too much is at stake,
'coz every single step that I walk,
I think my legs will break.

The blinds on my window are bars.

I'd say farewell if I could leave,
tear this heart from my sleeve.
This life sure took its toll.
Clutter and soul. Clutter and soul.
Farewell but never leave.
Tear this heart from my sleeve.
Twenty odd years have took there toll.
Clutter and soul. Clutter and soul.

Skellums was formed because there was nothing else left to do.

Underneath all the dirty guitars and drums, there lives a pop song. Skellums believe, that as long as you have a melody, you can get away with all sorts.
