Lyrics
Pick up to six lines to make a card.
Verse 1
The answer lies in the nest of thorns
The Baltic breeze and the broken hearts
So says I to the Darcey Boys
Paying out their lives to the Peddler's toys
You once were a child all feather and shield
To your keen eye was the whole world new
You sit around town, you've not a smile to spare
Your melted prayer on the city hall square
Chorus
You mean nothing by it
You mean nothing by it
You mean nothing by it
Look at your face
You mean nothing by it
You mean nothing by it
You mean nothing by it
Look at your face
You mean nothing by it
You don't mean nothing by it
You mean nothing by it
Look at your face
You mean nothing by it
You mean nothing by it
You mean nothing by it
Look at your face
Verse 2
I was so far past on the sunny hill rail
Where the old train tracks go no place cold
Let life leave a bit of love for you
And then you'll not be heard and you'll not be true
The Darcey Boys got a wind so far
But I'm still drinking in the same old bar
And there, a lost love to these long nights still
All things considered, I wish you well
Chorus
You mean nothing by it
You mean nothing by it
You mean nothing by it
Look at your face
You mean nothing by it
You mean nothing by it
You mean nothing by it
Look at your face
You mean nothing by it
You don't mean nothing by it
You mean nothing by it
Look at your face
You mean nothing by it
You mean nothing by it
Look at your face
Verse 3
A sand-downed fury like a dead man's cast
So the body-bob curse will be down to the trail
It all came rushing in a stream of fire
I make the last draft in the grasper's buyer
Back in the day, all the people would sing
Back, ring the bell, that's the gun that we'd ring
I see us all safe living through the mire
A laughing breeze and some sad desires
Chorus
You mean nothing by it
You mean nothing by it
You mean nothing by it
Look at your face
You mean nothing by it
You mean nothing by it
You mean nothing by it
Look at your face
You mean nothing by it
You don't mean nothing by it
You mean nothing by it
Look at your face
You mean nothing by it
You mean nothing by it
You mean nothing by it
Look at your face
