Suspicion Bells - Lyrics - Effigy
An effigy is a representation of a specific person in the form of sculpture or some other three-dimensional medium. The use of the term is normally restricted to certain contexts in a somewhat arbitrary way: recumbent effigies on tombs are so called, but standing statues of individuals, or busts, are usually not. Likenesses of religious figures in sculpture are not normally called effigies. Effigies are common elements of funerary art, especially as a recumbent effigy in stone or metal placed on a tomb, or a less permanent "funeral effigy", placed on the coffin in a grand funeral, wearing real clothing. Figures, often caricature in style, that are damaged, destroyed or paraded in order to harm the person represented by magical means, or merely to mock or insult them or their memory, are also called effigies.

So all your letters she read
and made a scene at the restaurant,
she usually just reads between the lines.
Suspicion Bells,
She read the lines themselves,
and I just sat there soaked in cheap red wine.
Could we rehearse that one more time.
Forgot alost every single line.
I don't know why x2
You gotta know I know you
I gotta right x2
I gotta know who owns you
Say what you mean x2
Not just what you think sells
I hear them ring x2
I hear the distant knells,
of suspicion bells.
With fultile hopes I glean from a colour TV screen,
I wait for fame and fortune to arrive.
But I'm falling face down,
waving at the stars that drive by,
sucking on cigarettes soaked in cheap red wine.
These things aren't that hard to find.
It's just that I've wasted so much time.
(chorus)
