lyrics

Pity my life
Humble my crown
Drown me in the river
By the burial ground
Digging my grave
By the watering hole
Tell them the devils gonna get my soul

Down on my knees
Filled up with lies
Hang me at the gallows
When the morning do rise
Watching my mind
Spinning out of control
Tell them the devils gonna get my soul

Secrets or lies
Flip of a coin
Preachers will be smiling
When the deamons rejoin
Dealers will laugh
And be selling paroles
Tell them the devils gonna get my soul

Turning my tricks
Pledging my time
Nobody cries
For tedious crime
Lie and deceive
As a Judas of old
Tell them the devils gonna get my soul

Pray for yourself
Never grow old
Everyone cares
For your silver and gold
Sell me your heart
For a mountain of coal
Tell them the devils gonna get my soul

Crooked by loss
Leave me alone
Tables will turn
As the devil will roam
Gave him my word
But he wanted me whole
Tell them the devils gonna get my soul

Troubles Of The Brain EP
by The Veils

The Veils with Finn Andrews in front are able to channel both a broadside of songwriters and bigger modern rock into an always melancholic universe. No shame in saying they've inspired us in many ways Rufus Spencer
