Skeleton Key Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sail lightly on winds
Disappear on the breeze
Lie firmly on pins
Pull them out with ease

[Chorus]
Solid boned skeleton key
Opens the most intricate lock
Brother roll another for me
I am shipwrecked on the rocks

[Verse 2]
Fumble blindly as we speak
You will wither if you are weak
Finger turns and points at me
I'd hoped they wouldn't notice me

[Chorus]
Solid boned skeleton key
Opens the most, intricate lock
Brother roll another for me
I am shipwrecked on the rocks

[Post-Chorus]
(Skeleton key)
(Skeleton key)
(Skeleton key)
(Skeleton key)

[Refrain]
Will I ever return?
Will I ever get back?
Are the rocks too high?
Has the dust turned black?
Will I ever return?
Will I ever get back?
Are the rocks too high?
Has the dust turned black?

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Skeleton Key
Skeleton Key
Skeleton Key
(Woo!) Skeleton Key

[Refrain]
Will I ever return?
Will I ever get back?
Are the rocks too high?
Has the dust turned black?
Will I ever return?
Will I ever get back?
Are the rocks too high?
Has the dust turned black?

[Chorus]
Solid boned, skeleton key
Opens the most intricate lock
Brother roll another for me
I am shipwrecked on the rocks

[Outro]
Oh yeah
Hey
That's more like
Here we go, here we go
Here we go, go, Byker Grove (One, two, three, four)
Can't believe it's so good
Can't believe it's so good
Can't believe it's so nice
Can't believe it's so nice
Can't believe it's so good
Can't believe it's so good
Can't believe it's so good
Can't believe it-

What did The Coral say about "Skeleton Key"?

[…] I was in the control room with Ian Broudie [producer], doing a guide vocal. Broudie just absolutely smashed “Skeleton Key” in this old compressor and crushed it, and I remember everyone being like, “Wow!” And that turned out to be the mix.
