Labour Lyrics

I, I was so hateful

And you were so grateful

To be voted in

You never give me my money

Think that's funny to be tame like that?



You take everything precious

Never let it down

Never lose those feelings

That you once found



I, I was the loser

Thought I could change it just like that

You, forceful lover

Fucked up your chances just like that



You take everything precious

Never let it down

Never lose those feelings

That you once found



We were singing the ballads of another age

You conjured up words of pathetic rage

Now what are we gonna do

What are we supposed to choose

Our hearts are broke in two



Your (?)

Had a twin, looked like tissue paper

The distance between reality and the truth

Your brain's like vapor



Still miss the point of what you could be

Still get the feeling that you gave to me



(?)

"Shut up," he said,

"There's no good way of saying

People like you betray people like me

Shut up!"
