about

Adjective: "Shan" - Referring to something that is 'unfair' or 'rubbish' or 'harsh'.

"Here man, that's pure shan that like". (Scotland, Hartlepool).

lyrics

Pearly eyes, we'll go out tonight
But if the weather turns dry, will you wanna incite me?
In your sigh, I hear a wish to die.
But if the weather turns dry, will you wanna incite me?

I feel the blood rush to my brain,
you make me need to think before I say.
You tell me that it's gonna be okay,
why does nothing ever turn out like you say?

Share every aspect of your life,
and sharpen up the edge as you play it out.
Give me just enough so that I can swing.
My neck is on the line, give me everything.

I see you see me in a special way,
out of the corner of my eye,
and baby when I turn to look at you
all of our thoughts become entwined.

Oh life was easy when I didn't care,
I didn't have a life before.
Oh love was something that I didn't dare,
but now it cannot be ignored.

Maybe my love will kill you,
but not unless you do it first.
Baby, they're telling me I should flee you,
but I can't think of nothing worse.

Baby, I've wanted this all my life,
I don't know where to draw the line of
self-worth and devastation.
Would you let me waste my time?

You wouldn't let me waste my time.

Pearly eyes, cut the family ties.
I want to show you my world but you won't even ask me.
You just lie,
you just make up some excuse each time I ask you to be mine.

Time together is now through,
there was life before you.
All the reasons that you've gone,
they have defined when I was young.

Time together is now through,
there was life before you.
All the reasons that you've gone,
they have defined when I was young.

Time together is now through,
there was life before you.
All the reasons that you've gone,
they have defined when I was young.

Time together is now through,
there was life before you.
All the reasons that you've gone,
they have defined when I was young.
