"Split Your Ends" lyrics - WIRE

WIRE
"Split Your Ends"
(Graham Lewis / Colin Newman / Wire)

Under the hammer
A celebration of childhood
An impeding stammer
Words alone matter
When visual sense fails
Estimates broken

[Chorus:]
Shooting through the shooting forests
On the move and in the hunt
Free to catch fresh scents
The dog flanks
Mend your ways but split your ends

Tiny terror
Orange fly weight
Box above don't hit below
Speeding through the ever
Changing seasons
Come, and people go

[Chorus]

[Instrumental]

A trawler captain
Scoops the loot
As prices shoot
Purple panther
Pulls the shades
And draws my fire

[Chorus]

[Outro:]
Mend your ways but split your
Mend your ways but split your
Mend your ways but split your
Mend your ways but split your
Mend your ways but split your
Mend your ways but split your
Mend your ways but split your
Mend your ways but split your
Ends
