Scars & Stripes Billy Bragg meets The Smiths on the US side of The Atlantic

lyrics

If you don't have a reason
And your clothes aren't in season
You're an outcast
So you're standing here freezing
Cos it's so much colder outside

When you lift up the veil
On the failure that's haunted your lifetime
It's a cold wind that blows
When nobody knows you are there

Scars and stripes, scars and stripes
A thousand, a thousand nights
Now that you know it doesn't make it alright

If you can't stop the bleeding or feeling
I'll throw you a lifeline
So instead of you asking
I'll just keep on grasping at straws

And the smiles that they wear
They prepare your despair
For the last time
Though they say that they care
You can't help feeling ignored

Scars and stripes,scars and stripes
A thousand, a thousand nights
Now that you know it Doesn't make it alright

The scars and stripes have made them blind
Walk away they're never kind
Don't ask them to ever feel
The don't see wounds that never heal
The scars and stripes have made them blind
Walk away they're never kind
Don't ask them to ever feel
The don't see wounds that never heal

Scars and stripes,scars and stripes
A thousand, a thousand nights
Now that you know it Doesn't make it alright
Now that you know it Doesn't make it alright
Now that you know it Doesn't make it alright
Now that you know it Doesn't make it alright
