"Bad Thing Longing"
(Johnny McElhone / Grahame Skinner / Harry Travers)

A child at church on a Sunday morning
The man says 'it's a bad thing longing'
A lawless angel takes you down
Abiding angel show you the higher ground
It's best that you don't know
She lives in lowlife, claps her hands
I said, it's best that you don't know
She looks like everyone but believe in no one

I've a trust secure for me
Insecure, securities
I give away my past
It's deep and it's rich
Who says blind eyes cannot see
I said, it's best that you don't know
I been put on a fine edge made to talk
I said, it's best that you don't know
But I got this longing to be led astray

Keep the river on your right
Keep the moon in your sight
I have a wish that's like a command
Come on, darling, take the stand
I have a wish that's like a command
Come on, darling, take the stand
Take the test

A child at church on a Sunday morning
(Whoa-oh-oh...)
The man says 'it's a bad thing longing'
A lawless angel takes you down
(Ah, ah...)
Abiding angel show you the higher ground
(Ah, ah...)
It's best that you don't know
I been put on a fine edge made to talk
I said, it's best that you don't know
But I got this longing to be led astray

(Best if you don't know)
She looks like everyone but believe in no one
(Best if you don't know)
She looks like everyone but believe in no one

(Best if you don't know)
I been put on a fine edge, mmm...
(Best if you don't know)
She looks like everyone but believe in no one

(Best if you don't know)
I been put on a fine edge made to talk
(Best if you don't know)
She looks like everyone but believe in no one
