lyrics

Every wrenboy knows
His verse and prose
How to fix his hair
How to strike a pose
But I'm the lion in winter
When the snow begins to shimmer at night

I know every song
So I know what's wrong
You know how it feels
How to know how it's real
And not some trick of the eye
I always wondered why I'm

All alone
On the Feast of Steven
Now I know
Nothing breaks even
Watch the snow
Scatter the heathen
I'm all alone
On the Feast of Steven
And Manchester's far away

I'm no charming man
I do what I can
Got nothing to say
Just let the records play
But the cold still creeps through the window
And the train takes everyone home for a while

A king is born
Between a row of corn
But the queen is dead
She's fallen out of bed
But you were never anyone's subject
So I'll never be anyone's subject
You're the only king I know
You're the only one who knows I'm

All alone
On the Feast of Steven
Now I know
Nothing breaks even
Watch the snow
Scatter the heathen
I'm all alone
On the Feast of Steven
And Manchester's far away
