Victim Of Love

STAR is Ted Beck, Scott Cortez and Shannon Roberts.

You’ve got trouble so you’re looking for me
But I don’t want to
And I don’t need to
Pull out the big guns
Just for you my son
Every time I read that letter
Written in blood
That I addressed to everyone
I’m sorry I hurt that man
But that’s my problem
You’ve got your own now
And you’re on your own now
To solve it
You’re a cock swan

You say that’s not fair cause we’ve got history
Well, I don’t remember 
It being a pleasure
Don’t you recall
Laughing with them all
Each and every time they knocked me down
You know what this sounds like?
It sounds like the last laugh
You’re a cock swan

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

"I really love this. Prog rather took over psychedelia and managed to lose the freshness. Modern psychedelia like this has taken it back and developed it in new directions, almost an alternate reality split off in time." - The Psychedelic Sweet Shop
