His Word Is Not His Bond - Waterboys

He lives in a waste

void of culture and taste

his eye on a prize beyond

His every word

is in the right place

but his word is not his bond



His face his comely

his heart it bleeds

yet it's but a mantle he has donned

Mark him only

by his deeds

for his word is not his bond



I'd love to take him

out of his room

and gently break him

I'd love to see

him

dance !



His protege deals

in confusion and fog

Of power he is fond



Wheels within wheels

- like master, like dog

His word is not his bond



I'm trying to swim

but I'm caught in the shallows

and I sense that I've been conned

Deliver him

...to the gallows !

His word is not his bond

Il vit dans un gâchis

vide de culture et de goût \u003cbr />
son oeil sur un prix au-delà \u003cbr />
Son chaque mot

est au bon endroit

mais sa parole n'est pas son lien



Son visage sa jolie

son coeur saigne

mais ce n'est qu'un manteau qu'il a mis

Marquez-le seulement

par ses actions

car sa parole n'est pas son lien



J'adorerais le prendre

hors de sa chambre

et le casser doucement

J'aimerais voir

lui

danse!



Ses affaires de protégé

dans la confusion et le brouillard

Il aime le pouvoir



Roues dans les roues

- comme maître, comme chien

Sa parole n'est pas son lien



J'essaye de nager

mais je suis pris dans les bas-fonds

et je sens que j'ai été dupé \u003cbr />
Livrez-le

... à la potence!

Sa parole n'est pas son lien
