Western Eyes Lyrics by Portishead

Western Eyes Lyrics

    Forgotten throes of anothers life
    The heart of love is their only light
    Faithless greeds, consolidating
    Holding down sweet charity
    With western eyes and serpents breath
    We lay our own conscience to rest

    But I'm aching at the view
    Yes I'm breaking at the scenes just like you

    They have values of a certain taste
    The innocent they can hardly wait
    To crucify, invalidating
    Turning to dishonesty
    With western eyes and serpents breath
    They lay their own conscience to rest
    But then they lie and then they dare to be
    Hidden heros candidly

    So I'm aching at the view
    Yes I'm breaking at the scenes just like you

    (I feel so cold on hookers and gin...this mess we're in!)
