[To the tune of "i confess" by the English Beat].
I confess... that I am on an English Beat kick right now, having just aquired a copy of "Beat This" last week, but I was struck by all the imagery appropriate to Deadlands in this one, so I decided to try it out. And most of the lyrics don't rhyme in the original either. You can listen to a clip if you go to The Beat's Sound Sample page. - Ed
Just
out of spite,
I confess I've ruined four lives
Now I'm tied up tight
Because I didn't care till I found out that one of them was mine.
Round after round burst after burst.
Done too much of gun spirit talking.
Still wasn't right fight after fight
Till "Get out of my life get away from me get away from my gun"
"No it's not a joke it's cards on the table time
Yes I could have dumped
That demon clip
But I kept it close that was my slip
Being dead don't hurt,
No only dieing
Cards on the table time,
I think this is my last goodnight."
We'll soon be heading for paradise,
Just because I'm mean as a rattler
Yoshi I confess yes I've ruined four lives
And didn't care till I found out that one of them was mine.
I confess
We're in for demonic punishment
And I confess,
I don't think they'll let me stay indifferent
I confess I confess I confess
I confess I confess I confess.
No-one wins and there's no denying,
Don't pretend like you don't know why,
Just a little shot here a little burst there Betty
I confess look I confess that I should build with more care
I confess I confess I confess.
Out like a light,
I think that Jack has given up trying,
Demons in sight,
Jack screams my brain pan's open,
My eyes ripped out,
I know I'm shouting,
I like to shout.
It's not a joke it's cards on the table time
It's not a joke it's cards on the table time
I could have dumped
That demon clip
But I kept it close that was my slip
Being dead don't hurt,
No only dieing
Cards on the table time,
Sometimes it's right to say goodnight."
We'll
soon be heading for paradise,
Just because I'm mean as a rattler
Rev I confess yes I've ruined four lives
And didn't care till I found out that one of them was mine
I confess
My soul ripped out in punishment
I confess
I think they're castrating the Penitent
I confess I confess I confess
I confess I confess I confess
I confess I confess I confess
I confess I confess I confess
I confess I confess I confess
AAAAAUGH!
