Greek Wedding Song
Inspiral Carpets Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't tell you how I feel, it's not so unreal
Frustration, damned in your heart affairs
Desire, I wish you wouldn't start these things
You steal the seeds, the seeds that I have sown
You know how I feel when you ask to go and steal
