Sip From The Ladle Lyrics

Have you ever seen sunshine like this in your life?

Cuts through you with a hot knife

And you'd be lucky to find a place to sit

Let alone stay for the night

Have you ever looked deeply in your eyes?

Seen the workings of time shine straight out

Like lights, slicing through the darkness bright

And you'd swear a soul would never pass us by

Cos' there's songs that could kill

And songs about killing

The melodies so chilling

You'd have to keep swilling

And still, I sit in the shade

With all the people

Who spit in the pot

And sip from the ladle

Who spit in the pot

And sip from the ladle

I've been waiting for that feeling

To sit down by my side

Embrace me and change me

Into something I recognise

But still the promise lurches

It's up there with the vultures

There's only stained glass

In the pubs and the churches

There's songs that could kill

And songs about killing

The melodies so chilling

You'd have to keep swilling

And still, I sit in the shade

With all the people

Who spit in the pot

And sip from the ladle

Who spit in the pot

And sip from the ladle

Who spit in the pot

And sip from the ladle
