"Within You Or Without You" lyrics - HUGH CORNWELL

Invested time making sure she's fine
With no fishing line just a washing line
I have to say it was worth the play
To be making hay on a praying day

So I made my bed and I slept instead
I got overfed and where all that led
But I soon found out there was doubt about
Underneath the pout and the quivering snout

Either within you or without you
Either within you or without you
I'm without you
I'm without you

I soldiered through all the me and yous
And the bedroom blues and the kitchen stews
I have to say no days were grey
My feet were clay but I slept OK
What got me down was the growing frown
The collective noun and the female hounds
I didn't mind 'cause she was kind
Though she was blind to the highway signs

Either within you or without you
Either within you or without you
I'm without you
I'm without you

So I drink my milk even though it's spilt
And the flowers wilt over love that's killt
And I read 'my book now I'm off the hook
I still like to look across the babbling brook

And I'm living fast for what come's to pass
It's like passing gas 'cause nothing ever lasts
You'll hear me say it's just another day
I've enjoyed my stay but I'll be on my way

Either within you or without you
Either within you or without you
I'm without you
I'm without you

I'm without you
I'm without you
I'm without you

I'm without you
I'm without you
I'm without you
