Lyrics The Delgados

The Delgados

Get Action!

No one ever said to me that I should write a symphony

But write it, now I've wrote it and the days are growing longer

No hint of allegation or trouble with no patience

And everyone's been mangling my name

I took time to work it out at seats of higher learning

But I never understood a single thing that they said to me

Except, "Son, you know you think you've got a chance but let me tell you

We've worked her out and you've come here to fail"

Friend, don't you know

I've got thoughts that I'm scared of

God is for me, is a thing to beware of

Get it on, bag a girl

Every single person who has told you that you couldn't

Lives in fear that you'll achieve the things in life they think you shouldn't

A parallel digression, unswerving in direction

And that was why they set my hair on fire

You worked out the best of it and I worked out the rest of it

And finally solutions fell around us like in autumn

We were wrong and we were right a bit, we laughed and then we cried a bit

I'll tell you now, I've not been born to fail

Friend, don't you know

I've got these eyes from crying

You are depraved, I salute you for trying

When I'm gone, you take my song

No one ever said to me that I should write a symphony

But write it, now I've wrote it and the days are growing longer

No hint of allegation or trouble with no patience

And everyone's been laying off my name

Friend, don't you know

I've got thoughts that I'm scared of

God is for me, is a thing to beware of

Friend, don't you know

I've got these eyes from crying

You are depraved and I love you for trying

When I'm wrong, bring it on
