Lyrics The Table (Live Session 2/12/98) - The Beautiful South
This
table
has
four
sturdy
legs
And
a
heart
of
very
near
wild
oak
When
others
would
have
screamed
out
loud
my
friend
This
one
never
even
spoke
I've
been
sat
upon,
I've
been
spat
upon
I've
been
treated
like
a
bed
Been
carried
like
a
stretcher,
When
someone
thinks
they're
dead
I've
been
dined
upon,
I've
been
wined
upon
I've
been
taken
for
a
fool
Taken
for
a
desk,
When
they
should
have
been
at
school
This
table's
been
pushed
against
the
wall
When
tempers,
well
tempers
flare
at
night
Banged
upon
with
knuckles
clenched
my
friend
When
someone
thinks
that
they
are
right
I've
been
sat
upon,
I've
been
spat
upon
I've
been
treated
like
a
bed
Been
carried
like
a
stretcher,
When
someone
thinks
they're
dead
I've
been
dined
upon,
I've
been
wined
upon
I've
been
taken
for
a
fool
Taken
for
a
desk,
When
they
should
have
been
at
school
Tables
only
turn
when
tables
learn
Put
me
on
a
bonfire,
watch
me
burn
Treat
me
with
some
dignity,
don't
treat
me
like
a
slave
Or
I'll
turn
into
the
coffin
in
your
grave
I've
been
sat
upon,
I've
been
spat
upon
I've
been
treated
like
a
bed
Been
carried
like
a
stretcher,
When
someone
thinks
they're
dead
I've
been
dined
upon,
I've
been
wined
upon
I've
been
taken
for
a
fool
Taken
for
a
desk,
When
they
should
have
been
at
school
Tables
only
turn
when
tables
learn
Put
me
on
a
bonfire,
watch
me
burn
Treat
me
with
some
dignity,
don't
treat
me
like
a
slave
Or
I'll
turn
into
the
coffin
in
your
grave
