A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE

words by andrew eldritch music by wayne hussey





And she came to look for me

Sold me name and innocence

Took my key

And told me to follow her

Down from igor with her bangles and her reverence

Into the church in the valley of love

Well she wanted a haven and a place to hide

So I gave her an alibi took her inside but



A rock and a hard place await for for me

Between the devil and the deep blue sea

Everything I ever did right or wrong

Hid out of sight where I belong, belong



And I didn't have the heart to tell her

Why

And there wasn't a part of me that

Didn't want to say goodbye but



Cause and effect go hand in hand with

The devil may care but I don't mind and I

Thought she'd never quite understand so I

Left her there that night but will she

Find me? I don't think so, no

When you go, you go alone

And I'm gone.............

far away (X4)



And I didn't have the heart to tell

Why

And there wasn't a part of me that

Didn't want to say goodbye but...



CHORUS to fade
