    Lyrics »

Well you told me you were sorry
When I needed your advice
And I was too confused to see the meaning
Like Peter you disowned me
With a voice as cold as ice
Before the fire died and they were leaving

Chorus:
I'm a means to an end
And everybody's friend
To a rich man, poorman, beggarman or thief
From my heart I send a messenger
To bend and take your mind
From agony and grief.

O sweet silence without kings and queens
No one here has ever reached your centre
Better to be quiet than to speak
Without a thought or you may lose
The meaning of your venture
Save as who knows
