Delgados - No Danger lyrics

rate me

I've been hanging round for days

still confused about the way you came

Take the portraits from the wall

take them down and burn them all

I know what I've become

By the marks upon their arms

there was nothing that they lacked in charm

But now I've got to choose

who from you is gonna lose

and who is going through

By the stories that were told

I decided to reject the bold

embrace the cowardly and the weak

we had laughs that lasted weeks

they're inside and I sing here

Now I would swear this life is you

You've been around since we were twenty two

but now you've got the rush

when you're cold and when you're touched

I know things don't mean much

'Cause we don't know we're strong enough

and chances come too soon

But people, people, we're not in love

and now we're singing out of tune

Just go out and get it straight

There are questions here that just can't wait

Leave romantics to their spite

leave the footballs to their pints

alternatives we'll find

But there's nothing we can find

while our lives are plush and kind of fine

So we'll all call it a day

people follow in our wake

a nothing's hall of fame

'Cause we don't know we're strong enough

and chances come too soon

But people, people, we're not in love

and now we're singing out of tune

Come on babies, find a vein

Roll your sleeves up, find your arms insane

Walking out in little lines

down the corridors of life

and on to what you'll find

Out the door and down the street

over fences glens and ditches deep

And who from us is gonna choose

who will win and who will lose?

I know it won't be me

'Cause we don't know we're strong enough

and chances come too soon

But people, people, we're not in love

and now we're singing out of tune

'Cause we don't know we're strong enough

and chances come too soon

But people, people, we're not in love

and now we're singing out of tune
