Cruel lyrics

Artist  : Prefab sprout 
Song : Cruel
 
Cruel is the gospel thats sets us all free,
then takes you away from me.
There is no Chicago urban blues, more heartfelt
than my lament for you.
I'm a liberal guy, too cool for the macho ache,
with a secret tooth,
for the cherry on the cake.
With a pious smile, a smile that changes what I
say.
While I waste my time, inregretting that the
days,
went from perfect to just O.K. 
Lordy, What would I do? Don't call me possessive,
but God if he's smoochin' with you.
I's a jealous boy root, -the world shoyuld be
free, 
but don't you go following suit my heart is
aligned-
it couldn't be neutral, I couldn't be that way
inclined.
Its hard to defend, ba ba ba, ba, ba ba, 
these feelings tuppentup friend.
Its cruel, ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba
ba, 
ba ba Its cruel, ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba
ba ba,
ba ba Its cruel, its crueler than cruel.
But cruel is the gospel thats sets us all free,
then takes you away from me.
Should a love be tender, and bleed out loud?
Or be tougher than tough, and prouder than proud.
If I'm troubled by every folding of your skirt,
am I guilty of every male inflicted hurt?
But I don't know how to describe the Modern Rose,
When I can't refer to her shape against her
clothes.
With the fever of purple prose.
But cruel is the gospel thats sets us all free,
then takes you away from me.
Cruel is the gospel thats sets us all free,
then takes you away from me.
-My contribution, to urban blues.
