The Best Bits
Tony King 2012 ©

There was the flood
And the Crusades full of blood
Done in your name
And it filled a race with shame
We spent 2000 years
Looking for a cup
But the thing God would be proud of, he was saving up.

He was saving his best bits up for you
He was saving his best bits up for you
The only consolation I’ve extracted from the past, is he was
Saving his best bits up for you.

The Devil in his hole
Shovelling the coal
With a poison pen
He wrote a script for hungry men
With a little smoke and mirrors
He sold the world a pup
Turned out he was saving, his best temptation up.

He was saving his best bits up for you
He was saving his best bits up for you
The only consolation I’ve extracted from the past, is he was
Saving his best bits up for you.


I don’t have the treasure
Of the Churches or the Devil
And my threadbare cloak of reason
Is nothing but disheveled
I’ve made enough mistakes
I’ve caused too many tears
But I was saving all the best bits for our remaining years

I was saving all my best bits up for you
I was saving all my best bits up for you
The only consolation I’ve extracted from the past, is I was
Saving all my best bits up for you.

about

Beautifully Mad image

Beautifully Mad Sydney, Australia

Breathtaking original music reminiscent of the beauty of James Taylor, some honey from Melody Gardot, a lyrical spice of Cohen washed down with some Waits-like humour. A musical flame that licks at the heels of Folk and Jazz
