Matthew Good - Parable

PARABLE

you are the one that took me down
we cannot see
we cannot kick the habit
take your lips and turn them upside down
make me slowly in the image of your perfection

if not the lion then the apple of your eye
if not today then tomorrow is just goodbye
I coveted all these things
the bird it knows the bee stings
and then it dies
well, and then it dies

in a lowly room
in a lowly house
in a lowly town
a finger taps a table
bottled ships they run aground
if only for my life

if only for my life

if only for my life
know me, know me

if not the lion then the apple of your eye
if not the jury then guilt is through the alibi
I coveted all these things
the bird it knows the bee stings
and then it dies
well, and then it dies

you are the one that took me down
between your right and wrong
you sure did loan me a lost and found
take your whore lips and

take your whore lips and make me slowly in the image of your perfection

if not the singer then the apple of your eye
if not a masterpiece then a massacre in disguise
I coveted all these things
the bird it knows the bee stings
and then it dies
well, and then it dies

come on home

come on home

come on home

yeah come on home

I love this song, but the lyrics you put up have so many errors.

All lyrics are aquired through NearFantastica. com. As always if you could do better I invite you to go right ahead.

You are right, there are many masterpiece's of his that I have just recently discovered, despite being a long time, die hard Matt Good fanatic. This is some of his best work, hands down & it's such a shame it isn't out there.

[ChadWright74]

Matt should totally put some of these songs on his upcoming album 'Vancouver'.

Whether as hidden tracks or not, I don't care I just think all is fans should have the pleasure of hearing these, as many of them don't even use youtube probably, they have no idea about any of these classic pieces by Matt.

I coveted all these things

the bird it knows the bee stings

and then it dies

well, and then it dies

This song is awesome. I really wish MG would pull these old songs out of the closet and put 'em on a CD.

Thanks for sharing!

[TheGreenMark]

I love this song.

another hidden gem from Mr. Good

Once long ago I had a chance at all of Matt's pre-Ghetto songs including, The Rodchester Kings material on a digital disc, but alas it was 20 bucks and I only had 5. I cry every time I think about. Maybe in Vancouver somewhere you can ind it but not in Edmonton anymore
