lyrics

Bink Dirty nails
Like my life slightly sullied with grime
Only good for the cellars and serving time
Cleaning pots and pans.

Dirty nails
Calloused fingers grown ugly and old
Worker’s hands that must do what they’re told to do
Is that all I am?

How come everything I do begins with an order?
And no sooner have I got it done than I’m called for
While I swear I’ll try to keep pretending
It’s hard to see this torture ending completely
Someone release me from dirty nails.


Verity Broken dreams
Hope that’s never as near as it seems
Distant starlight reflected in reservoirs
Is that all they are?


Bink Broken dreams
Verity Tricked by endless insidious schemes
Bink and Verity Just a pawn in a game played by noble hands
Is that all we are?

Lately, when I go to bed at night I start dreaming
But I wake before the break of dawn and I’m screaming
Cos I’m hopeless and helpless and trapped in this madness completely
Won’t someone release me.

Till equality reigns I’ll go on
Till I’ve fought for my freedom and won
I will argue it tirelessly why can’t we all get along.

Bink Why can’t we all get along.

Verity Why can’t we all get along.
Verity calls to Bink. Bink climbs towards her.

Verity Dirty nails

Bink Could it be you think like I’m thinking?

Verity Dirty nails

Bink I believe our minds might be linking.
I have searched for you blindly, and now here you find me so sweetly,

Verity It’s like you complete me.

Dirty nails.
