Leave It to the Dogs

Stranglers

London is my town

But now the wise man stays underground

Above the crawlers creep

And steal our spirit while we sleep

Ancient photograph

In sepia days our mothers laughed

But now the face is blank

They take it all and give none back

I'm gonna leave it to the dogs

Let them pick the bones

Gonna leave it to the dogs

I'm going home

Beneath the skin of saints

Little devils warm their way

Into our sacred heart

And so the seed that tears us apart

I'm gonna leave it to the dogs

Let them pick the bones

Gonna leave it to the dogs

I'm going home

London is my town

But now the wise man stays underground

Above the creepers crawl

And tear the house down wall to wall

I'm gonna leave it to the dogs

Let them pick the bones

Gonna leave it to the dogs

I'm going home

Leave it to the dogs

Let them pick the bones

Leave it to the dogs

I'm going home
