Quick as Rainbows [Martin Hannett Earlier Version]

As she walks home tonight
To her house and ignores the stars
She knows there's no-one waiting

Tomorrow isn't clear enough
To give her strength or make her want
To wake and walk in the morning.

And there's hope that I've taken
And there's drugs to make it painless
And men, we're quick as rainbows,
Always rare to keep her thirsty
And I've gone, like she'd always known.

As I walk home tonight,
To my house and ignore the stars,
I know there's someone waiting,

Tomorrow is very clear,
It gives me strength and makes me want
To wake and walk in the morning

But there's hope that I've taken
And there's drugs to make it painless
And men, we're quick as rainbows,
Always rare to keep her thirsty
And I've gone, like she'd always known.

There were times of troubled dreams of hate
I'd take her down to the lake with our love
Watch it swim, we'd watch it drown
Watch our love bob up and down.

And there's hope that I've taken
And there's drugs to make it painless
And men, we're quick as rainbows,
Always rare to keep her thirsty
And I've gone, like she'd always known.

Always corpses at breakfast time.
