Second Hand Halo Songtext
von Corin Ashley

It′s knowing what you want
But you won't reach out and get it
And knowing who you are
But you can′t come out and be it
It's knowing a tune but refusing to sing
And you're all choked up inside
Like you need a blessing to breathe
And a clerical error to hide
Always keeps you on your knees
With a foot on your neck
Can you find that it′s yours?

And your second hand halo holds you down
Your second hand halo
That you bought from some dude in California
So your second hand halo holds you down
Is your second hand halo
It′ll get you further than your thorny crown
Victoria


With a firmly established tickle
That you wouldn't dare to scratch
Like a hammer and a sickle
And all the weeds you thrash
But you pray all alone in your bed just in case

And your second hand halo holds you down
Your second hand halo
That you bought from some dude in California
And your second hand halo holds you down
Is your second hand halo
It′ll get you further than your thorny crown
Victoria, Victoria

The story of
Poor old monkey in the middle of a tree
But it seems so real
As if this is just a dry run
Depending on public appeal
Life would be so easy
If you had it all


And your second hand halo holds you down
Is your second hand halo
That you bought from some dude in California
So your second hand halo holds you down
Is the second hand halo
It'll get you further than your thorny crown
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria
