For Him and Us - Paroles Lover / Fighter

We will still need a song

Even an ugly man

Wonderful and sad

Anger as beauty

No reason to cry out your eyes (on the highway tonight)

Tonight romanticize the automobile

The future language of slaves

Smoke baby

Autumn's here

Fuck you
You're drunk and acting tough
I know you're sad
You're not the only one who feels like that now

And maybe anger is your only choice
But maybe heart and fist and human voice
Might be the better way
Be the way

Cause we will still need a song
To carry our love away
To carry it away
We will still need a song
To carry our heart away
To carry them away

Don't let another tear be in your eyes
We can die in peace knowing we tried
To change our own ways

The poets let a generation down
And modern music should be a healing sound
It's the only way

Cause we will still need a song
To carry our love away
To carry it away
We will still need a song
To dance on our wedding day
To carry it away

And we will still need a song
To carry our heart away
To carry it away
We will still need a song
To dance on our wedding day
To carry it away

What jesus can't fix tonight
The whiskey certainly might
I must have said the lord's prayer 65 times
And thought of your face
Our infinite grace
All of the ways to behold you
Until the tide will I wait

Even an ugly man
Could kiss your lips
As if they were his to demand of
Or his to destroy like a lover of a demon (x 2)

What loving won't fix tonight
The whiskey certainly might
I must have whispered your name 65 times
My lips on your face
In our infinite grace
All of those ways to behold you
Until the tide will I wait

Even an ugly man
Could kiss your lips
As if they were his to demand of
Or his to destroy like a lover of a demon (x 4)

I wish the telephone had not been invented
Cause I keep picking it up to say
Stupid things to you

The rain has stopped for now
But I know it's not ended

No sense in trying
I cannot be protected
No sense in worrying
I can't be protected

Wonderful

I wish that happiness could just be pretended
The closest thing to that is
A bottle of whiskey dear

I'd write a letter home
But I don't know where to send it

No sense in trying
I cannot be protected
No sense in worrying
I can't be protected

Gather at the church
Say a quiet prayer
Hold each other's hands
Praying that you might be there
In honesty and peace
With the whispers of your god
Falling on your ear

Falling on your ear

Melt your silver down
Kiss your lover's face
The sirens start to sound
And you're caught up in the only place
Where the honesty of fear
Makes a battle like a song
Falling on your ears

Anger as beauty

Fighter soul alive
In a whiskey fueled rage
The tears burn in your eyes
The saddest of the souls to save
Sings lovely in its fear
With a voice that's
Broken/strong

Anger as beauty (x 2)

Lover don't you wait
Lover you'll be safe
Strangest quiet in the streets
Fighters for the love
Dug deep
They're under paved ports
Gently lifting up a song
Falling on your ears

The brake lights
Are really quite lovely
Thousands of souls
All Stopping together

On the highway tonight
There's no reason to cry out your eyes (x 2)

The city
Starts fading behind us
Thousands of souls

Wishing things were better

Sadness
Is waiting to happen
For people like us
Not sure where they're going

And we kiss alone
In the parked car
At least I think so
There's a flashlight waving
Out somewhere
You can see it down the road
And the saddest part
Is that we mean so well
Don't want to hurt nothing
Don't want to hurt
This fragile love we know
Cause there is nothing left to hold
And we prayed that night
And you said to me
"don't you worry baby
The worst has come and the worst will go
and there's nothing we don't know"
I'll believe you then
But you know me
And I, I always think the worst
So be satisfied
And it's hard but i'll try

To not romanticize the automobile (x 2)

So come with me then
By the lakeside
Smell the death there
Where a plane did fall
And boat sunk too
You'll be terrified to know
That I fantasize
About a way to die
Nothing glorified
Someone falls asleep
On a late night road
Like a mercy for us both
I'll believe you then
But you know me
And I, I always think the worst

So be satisfied
And it's hard but i'll try

To not romanticize the automobile (x 3)

So be satisfied
And it's hard but i'll try

To not romanticize the automobile...

Come, come over here
Whisper into my ear
Don't, don't waste your breath
On anyone else
But me

And warm
Your body in bed
Let us wake up and talk a while
I, I tell you i'm scared
I tell you i'd fight for
Us both
But you come from the town
Where ghandi was born
You say I always tough
When I get drunk
So why don't we pray
Whispering the
Future language of slaves
Future language of slaves

I should rejoice
Maybe give voice to a song
For what brought me here to your arms
Into your painfully true love
And god maybe close
God only knows
Really to say
And what, what would we do in our last moments
In time
Would, would we make love
Or make haste to a mobile phone
Or would we break bread
Drink the blood that is shed
And pray to our god
Whispering the
Future language of slaves
Future language of slaves

In your underclothes
You went out for a smoke
I call you in
Just before the storm begins
Your last breath of smoke
You let out in the room
It makes a cloud
Like the greyest
Perfect plume

Smoke baby, smoke baby
More alcohol baby
Cocaine in Montreal
And back out on a plane baby
An early flight will leave
And on it will be me
I'll be half asleep
And you'll get up at three

Casual as a light
Flickers before its night
The sadness comes
And the daylight turns and runs
As the sun is setting you'll be betting
I'll be getting through
I'll find a payphone baby
Take some time to talk to you

Smoke baby, smoke baby
More alcohol baby
Cocaine in Montreal
And back out on a plane baby
An early flight will leave
And on it will be me
I'll be half asleep
And you'll get up at three

And I have never felt
Quite this close to hell
All this rock and roll baby
Only time will tell
But we're young now, having fun now
On the town now, getting round now
It's fine for now
But someday we'll settle down
But not now

Baby smoke baby, smoke baby
More alcohol baby
Cocaine in Montreal
And rock on a plane baby
An early flight will leave
And on it will be me
I'll be half asleep
And you'll wake up at three

Get a little naughty and crazy
Blow smoke baby
I'm your girl
highly for sure
not maybe
This lady wants you to take it off too
Felt that way first time i saw you
Stir up trouble the kind i like
Hoping night don't mind
It's a time when wrong is right
Break me off tell your crew get lost
Or else this heat might turn to frost
You know i bite and what it's like when we fight
These drunk lips cursed with spite
So let's do this right
Make love all night
And wake up in time to catch the flight, bye

You can tell by the wind
By fresh cut wood
All stacked to dry
That autumn's here
It makes you sad
About the crumby
Summer we had

With pine trees creeking
The raven's screeching
Just like the story my grandma tells
About when a bird
Hits your window
And someone you know
Is about to die

Autumn's here

Autumn's here

So find a sweater
And you'll be better
Until the kindling is tinder dry
We can be quiet
As we walk down
To see the graveyard
Where they are now
I wonder how
They brought their piano
To haldane hill
From old berlin
Be hard to keep it
Well in tune
With winters like the one
That's coming soon

I think that ghosts like
The cooler weather
When leaves turn colour
They get together
And walk along these
These old back roads
Where no one lives
And, and no one goes
With all their hopes set
On the railway
That never came
So no one stayed
I guess that autumn
Gets you remembering
And the smallest things
Just make you cry

Autumn's here
