BRUTE lyrics? / SF tickets?
Been trying to figure out the lyrics to THE BRUTE ON HIS KNEES for weeks now and there’s a few lines I can’t decipher. Any other ears able to help me figure out this ear worm?
“Blinking blindly …. ???” (Sounds sort of like “high on horse”, probably rhymes with “off course” in the next line)
“There’s not much I can say …. ???” (Sounds like “to right the path we stayed while lying, sun is dying”
My full interpretation is below
ALSO: ANYONE HAVE AN EXTRA TICKET TO ONE OF THE SF SHOWS??? I would gladly reimburse
Thanks in advance!
THE BRUTE ON HIS KNEES
in C minor
Cm - Eb/Bb - F7/A
I stood as if to leave
F - F7/Eb - Bb/D
And it felt so far away
Cm - Eb/Bb - F7/A
Blinking blindly high on horse
F - F7/Eb - Bb/D
Your balance broken and off course
G7/B - Cm
There’s not much I can say
A/C# - Dm (+ descending riff, or + a short D major at the peak of the guitar solo)
To right the path we stayed while lying, sun is dying
A - Gm - A - Gm
I don’t want to destroy you
I la’d a lullaby
The willow weeping cracked a smile
I want to break and cry
As the time fleets far away
There’s not much I can say
To right the path we stayed while lying, sun is done
Gm - Cm - F - Bb - Eb - Ab - D
Ahh
His head left his body
And the blood sprayed on the clowns
He fell down to his knee
I felt excitement in the crowd
What a stupid thing to see
What a violent life we lead
While drifting way off course
I don’t want to destroy you
Ahh
I held him in my arm
And my heart was full of song
Swaying softly in the breeze
His balance broken and off course
La La La La La La
