Beautiful South, The - Bed Of Nails Lyrics
Don't think of what we can and can't achieve
Perfection like this can't be guaranteed
Hearts get lost, lovers leave
Lets just see what friendship actually needs
If ever you may sin, count me in
If that devil doubt should come to find you
Count on me and don't you count on him
If luck should quit this town
If fortune sails
If conversation breaks down
If love derails
I'll be that back up call
If all else fails
For a bed of nails
I wouldn't mind being left up on that shelf
If I hadn't actually built, built the thing myself
But since there's only you and no one else
I don't get too wound up about my health
And if ever shelf may fall I'm right below you
In need of DIY then I'm your guy
If lack of confidence should come to know you
Don't let those tears you cry stop you and I
If luck should quit this town
If fortune sails
If conversation breaks down
If love derails
I'll be that back up call
If all else fails
I'll swap this bed of roses
For a bed of nails

Beautiful South, The Bed Of Nails Comments
This is a beautiful song written with a lot of passion and beautiful lyrics...but looking at it and linking it to the album cover it becomes so ostensibly British. Ever since I heard this song about 12 years ago I've been determined to find out where the vehicle graveyard in which this picture was taken is so I can go find out more about this bus. The more I listen to the song the more I'm convinced The Beautiful South wrote it as a requiem for the bus and I just want to know what kind of passengers it transported in which typical British town. Hull? Manchester? Bath? WHAT'S YOUR DAMN STORY YOU ORANGE PIECE OF JUNK?!?! STOP LOOKING AT ME WITH THOSE SAD HEADLIGHTS!!
My favourite South song (I think). Sitting with a few members of the band after theyre gig in Galashiels on thurs night and Gaz asks what my favourite song is so I reply "Bed of Nails, without a doubt" to which Tony trumpet replies " Who's that one by?" Priceless!!!!! Amazing night, amazing band and definitely still beautiful :) xx
I hear it - I love it. Thanks for uploading! :)
