lyrics

I thought it would be hard to manipulate you good
But in the end you acted just the way I thought you would
The marks of your endearment will surely leave a scar
So we tread our different paths until we don't know who we are
Now we're unionised but still we must decide
What is wrong and what is right and if not where to hide
Now I have problems in my life and one of them is you
You don't want me to be free but you ain't the boss of me

If I forget
Why I wake up in cold sweats
I cross the line
Trying to touch the divine
While we slept
You held a knife behind your back
So I crack and scream
You ain't the boss of me

So I don't sleep for weeks and decide I can't ignore
The subtle slights that come across like breaking down my door
Now I have problems in my life and one of them is you
You don't want me to be free but you ain't the boss of me

If I forget
Why I wake up in cold sweats
I cross the line
Trying to touch the divine
While we slept
You held a knife behind your back
So I crack and scream
You ain't the boss of me

And I don't really want to know
But it seems your legs just start to go
I see reflections of my sin
We didn't want you to come in
I know, but I couldn't look away
Well why the fuck didn't you say
Cos when we had a heart to heart
You said you were doubtful from the start

I'm hopeful we can still be friends
But there are so many loose ends
It makes no difference in my head
Sometimes I think you want me dead
You treated me like a ghost since then
I wish I could see you smile again
But we are flailing and falling apart

If I forget
Why I wake up in cold sweats
I cross the line
Trying to touch the divine
While we slept
You held a knife behind your back
So I crack and scream
You ain't the boss of me

If I forget
Why I wake up in cold sweats
I cross the line
Trying to touch the divine
While we slept
You held a knife behind your back
So I crack and scream
You ain't the boss of me

Matt Hartless & the Maverick 7 Manchester, UK

Many moons ago, Matt Hartless rode into town from across the Sea on horseback with nothing but a guitar and a song in his heart.

Selling an aquatic horse would have made life easier, but that's not the Maverick way and Matt soon found himself recruiting troubadours from across Manchester to give the gift of Gypsy-ska-flamenco-folk-punk-rock to the world. ... more
