Wild Life - Lyrics - Fiddler's Green

Fiddler's Green is a legendary supposed afterlife, where there is perpetual mirth, a fiddle that never stops playing, and dancers who never tire. Its origins are obscure, although some point to the Greek myth of the Elysian Fields as a potential inspiration.

My fear is making me small I'm still connected, so connected No way for me to walk tall I'm not protected, not protected We're driving with the breaks on Give me mercy, give me mercy And everything is just wrong No escaping, there is no escaping All I wanted was a Wild wild life Driving with the brakes on Must go wrong All I wanted was a Wild wild life My precious darling My love is lost in a maze No escaping, there is no escaping My soul is lost in a haze Show me mercy won't you show me mercy Once I was reading your mind No reflection of a faint affection Cos now the mirror is blind No reflection there is no reflection All I wanted was a Wild wild life Driving with the brakes on Must go wrong All I wanted was a Wild wild life My precious darling
