Lyrics

Take, take all you need

Expressing an offer to provide whatever is needed.

And I'll compensate your greed

Promising to compensate for greed, possibly at a cost.

With broken hearts

Highlighting the emotional toll with broken hearts.

Sell I'll sell your memories

Committing to selling memories, perhaps for profit.

For fifteen pounds per year

Specifying a price for memories: fifteen pounds per year.

But just the good days

Qualifying the sale to only include the good days.


Say, It'll make you insane

Suggesting that the deal may drive one insane.

And it's bending the truth

Accusing someone of bending the truth.

You're to blame

Assigning blame for the loss of life.

For all the life that you'll lose and

Addressing the consequences of actions on one's life.

You watch this space

Encouraging attention to a significant event or development.

And I'm going all the way

Expressing commitment to a course of action.

And be my slave to the grave

Symbolizing a commitment, possibly to a negative cause.

I'm a priest God never paid

Claiming a role as a priest unrewarded by God.


Hope, I hope you've seen the light

Expressing a wish that someone has understood a truth.

'Cause no one really cares

Suggesting a lack of genuine concern from others.

They're just pretending

Indicating that others are merely pretending to care.

Sell, I'll sell your memories, for fifteen pounds per year

Reiterating the sale of memories, emphasizing the price.

But you can keep the bad days

Allowing the retention of bad memories without selling.


Say, it'll make you insane

Repeating the potential for insanity from a certain action.

And I'm bending the truth

Reiterating the accusation of bending the truth.

You're to blame

Reassigning blame for the loss of life.

For all the life that you'll lose

Highlighting the consequences of actions on one's life.

And you watch this space

Encouraging attention to a significant event or development.

And I'm going all the way

Expressing commitment to a course of action.

And be my slave to the grave

Symbolizing a commitment, possibly to a negative cause.

I'm a priest God never paid

Claiming a role as a priest unrewarded by God.


Say, it'll make you insane

Repeating the potential for insanity from a certain action.

And I'm bending the truth

Reiterating the accusation of bending the truth.

You're to blame

Reassigning blame for the loss of life.

For all the life that you'll lose

Highlighting the consequences of actions on one's life.

And you watch this space

Encouraging attention to a significant event or development.

And I'm going all the way

Expressing commitment to a course of action.

And be my slave to the grave

Symbolizing a commitment, possibly to a negative cause.

I'm a priest God never paid

Claiming a role as a priest unrewarded by God.
