Western Eyes Lyrics by Portishead
Album : Portishead
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Forgotten throes at another's lie
The heart of love is their only light
Faithless greeds consolidating
Holding down sweet charity

With western eyes
And serpent's 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 serpent's breath
They lay their own
Conscience to rest

But then they lie
And then they dare to be
Hidden heroes 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
Forgotten throes at another's lie   The heart of love is their only light   Faithless greeds consolidating   Holding down sweet charity      With western eyes   And serpent's 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 serpent's breath   They lay their own   Conscience to rest      But then they lie   And then they dare to be   Hidden heroes 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
