Lyrics The straight and the narrow Spiritualized

 844

The straight and the narrow


The trouble with the straight and the narrow
Isn't something I keep sliding off to the side
And the devil makes good use of these hands
of mine

And if Jesus is the straight path that saves
Then I'm content to live my whole life on the curb
On the crossroads of the devil
Out where I'll count my years

You know that I've got a little something I should say
I guess that I'm just so easily led astray
It's all right 'cuz I know my own way back home
From here

And I don't fall off the wagon you know
I take a dive and go as deep as I can go
Don't hold your breath 'cuz I'm coming up slow
This time

And the trouble with the straight and the narrow
Isn't something I keep sliding off to the side
And the devil makes good use of these hands
of mine

You know that I've got a little problem or two
I guess that I keep on taking a few
I've been told it's not the best thing that I can do
Right now

And I don't go looking for my sins you know
They come my way and I just get on and go
Don't hold your breath 'cuz I'm coming up slow
This time

And the trouble with the straight and the narrow
Isn't something I keep sliding off to the side
And the devil makes good use of these hands
of mine

And if Jesus is the straight path that saves
Then I'm content to live my whole life on the curb
On the crossroads of the devil
Out where I'll count my years

And the trouble with the straight and the narrow
Isn't something I keep sliding off to the side
And the devil makes, the devil makes
good use of these hands
of mine

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Spiritualized is an English space rock band formed in Rugby, Warwickshire, in 1990 by Jason Pierce (who often goes by the alias J. Spaceman), after the demise of his previous outfit, space-rockers Spacemen 3. The membership of Spiritualized has changed from album to album, with Pierce—who writes, composes and sings all of the band's material—being the only constant member. Spiritualized's sound is characterized by an epic and mystical atmosphere, influenced by psychedelic rock of the 1960s and 1970s, gospel and classical music. Among their most representative songs are "Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space", "Shine a Light" and "Run Away", while among their most successful albums are "Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space" (1997) and "Let It Come Down" (2008).
