lyrics

Hollow man

He let you down and walked away.
You don't need him anyway
He stole the sunlight from your day
Then took the coward's way

I watched your castle made of sand
fall into the sea
and all the patchwork tears you cried
cut to the heart of me

Now I can't say, that you were wrong
To let your guard down, when you felt strong
How many of us, hand on heart
would be fooled the same way too (X3)

By a hollow excuse for a man, fooled the same way too x2

He ate your food and touched your hair
I pretended not to care
He held you close; I could not see
But not as close as me

Cold, dark laughter fell apart
Down by the fire light
The poisoned words that rocked your heart
When you were out of sight

He took your smile, and sacked the land
This vagabond, this hollow man
He slipped away and forced your hand
So treacherous this hollow man

By a hollow excuse for a man,
so treacherous this,
hollow excuse for a man,
this vagabond

SHOTGUN MARMALADE Kingswinford, UK

SHOTGUN MARMALADE: High-energy, rhythmic, dark pop-punk songs payed either as a power trio or solo on an acoustic guitar with plenty of clicks, chops and skanks. Lyrics are humorous, ebullient, ironic and often cryptic, dealing with the darker side of life, usually with foot-stomping accompaniment and an opportunity to ska-pogo for those who so wish. We don't take ourselves too seriously!!. ... more
