Laughing It All Away lyricsOn The Lost Album (Late 1980s - unreleased)
Laughing It All Away (Verity Truman) Carry it all away Laughing the tears away Singing the night into day Laughing it all away She sings and plays in a rock n roll band A smile on her face and a struggle on her hands From the sleazy cross cafes to uptown cabarets She sings her world into place of love and agony of this working life Carry it all away Laughing the tears away Singing the night into day Laughing it all away She wants your trust not your flattery She wants the work not your charity She asks no favors from the briefcase bullyboys With their cocaine and lawyers she won't watch them destroy This working life Carry it all away Laughing the tears away Singing the night into day Laughing it all away A pollywaffle yellow moon holds here in its light She'll watch her ship come soon on the harbor night She is the first and least The angel and the beast And when she smiles She even makes the girls sigh Unhinge your heart with a look into your eyes But all she really wants is a chance to make her way And the freedom to love this world This working life Carry it all away Laughing the tears away Singing the night into day Laughing it all away Carry it all away Laughing the tears away Singing the night into day Laughing it all away |
