The Lightning Seeds - Bound in a Nutshell Lyrics

Bound in a nutshell
Lost in our weary eyes
We're tumbledown people
Leading our tumbledon lives

But a 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 those 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, and still want more
But day by day giants thaw

Tomorrow must be calling with a 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 those lies
As step by step, open tired eyes
A kiss of life, for sleeping giants
