Bar Room Jury - The Levellers

Everybody knows the story

They’ve got the details, what the score is

But if you want the truth, girl

You may need more than a day

You need to move just a little closer

These walls have ears if you didn’t know, girl

There’re certain things that you need to know

Before you go on your way

It seems the world is a little busy

Selling lies on for a living

That in a blinking of an eye

The truth has slipped away

And the writing’s written on the wall

For everyone to see

It lives on even though you think it’s dead and gone

The legacy love leaves behind was never easy, never kind

It lives on even though you think it’s dead and gone

The legacy love leaves behind was never one to mind

Moving on to the next instalment

'Case the bar room jury dies of boredom

The vultures are waiting

For the next meal of the day

Another tale that’s sad and sorry

And another love that went so wrong

And all the inside guts and glory

That pushed it all along

It’s hard to find the word to say

You just let the days go by, come what may

All the things that we should have done

Just happened anyway

And the writing’s written on the wall

For everyone to see

It lives on even though you think it’s dead and gone

The legacy love leaves behind was never easy, never kind

It lives on even though you think it’s dead and gone

The legacy love leaves behind was never one to mind

It lives on even though you think it’s dead and gone

The legacy love leaves behind was never easy, never kind

It lives on even though you think it’s dead and gone

The legacy love leaves behind was never one to mind
