Gifts & Words

from Wild & Free by Jenny Biddle

/

about

Opening the album is this groovey bluesy track, an amalgamation of personal experience combined with the realisation a dear friend was marrying the wrong person. How do you tell your mate their partner isn't good for them? Awkward....

Standard guitar tuning (capo 2)

lyrics

Right by your side, a pretty little bride
The pull of her smile, the twinkle in her eye
You have been waiting all of your life
Cos she got the words and she got the tongue
To whisk you away promise the kingdom will come
So hold our your hands for the scraps and the crumbs

Rose-coloured glasses have made you blind
All of this time; a bright warning sign
Gifts and words they don’t make a wife
Before you go make the mistake of your life
Gifts and words…
Don’t make a wife

Sweet-talk one moment then she go and break the rules
Ask your forgiveness with gold and with jewels
Sneaking around with some other fool
And you got the nerve to keep defending her name
You say you just gotta trust that there’s truth to her claims
Cos you’ve never known such a love, such a flame

Rose-coloured glasses have made you blind
All of this time; a bright warning sign
Gifts and words they don’t make a wife
Before you go make the mistake of your life
Gifts and words…
Don’t make a wife

This little voice calling inside
You just can’t deny that something ain’t right

Rose-coloured glasses have made you blind
All of this time; a bright warning sign
Gifts and words they don’t make a wife
Before you go make the mistake of your life
Gifts and words…
Don’t make a wife
