The Table lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics The Table lyrics This table has four sturdy legs And a heart of very near wild oak When others would have screamed out loud my friend This one never even spoke I ve been sat upon, I ve been spat upon I ve been treated like a bed Been carried like a stretcher, when someone thinks they re dead I ve been dined upon, I ve been wined upon I ve been taken for a fool Taken for a desk, when they should have been at school This table s been pushed against the door When tempers, well tempers, flare at night Banged upon with knuckles clenched my friend When someone thinks that they are right I ve been sat upon, I ve been spat upon I ve been treated like a bed Been carried like a stretcher, when someone thinks they re dead I ve been dined upon, I ve been wined upon I ve been taken for a fool Taken for a desk, when they should have been at school Tables only turn when tables learn Put me on a bonfire, watch me burn Treat me with some dignity, don t treat me like a slave Or I ll turn into the coffin in your grave I ve been sat upon, I ve been spat upon I ve been treated like a bed Been carried like a stretcher, when someone thinks they re dead I ve been dined upon, I ve been wined upon I ve been taken for a fool Taken for a desk, when they should have been at school Tables only turn when tables learn Put me on a bonfire, watch me burn Treat me with some dignity, don t treat me like a slave Or I ll turn into the coffin in your grave song lyrics
