The Birth Of The Lyrics

song lyrics The Birth Of The True lyrics Words and music by Roddy Frame I feel the magic that our time has traced, And make a point of it in every place. But every place deserves a curse or two, For making me so far away from you. I saw some pictures of the world at war, I couldn t suss what all the fuss was for, I wear a picture of you wearing black, And kissing me behind the butler s back. Sometimes I get down, But it s not you that gets me down, It s just the sense of the impossible, Gratuitously handed down. Chorus: But oh no, not you, don t wipe your eyes over lies, Just let them shine their blue, On every whisper that welcomes the inconceivable, And the birth of the true. I d sack the world and make a second start, I d sack my head until I found my heart, I d fill the distance with a red parade, And burn the banks down while the bugles played. Sometimes I get down, But it s not you that gets me down, It s just the sense of the impossible, Gratuitously handed down. Chorus song lyrics
