Ed Harcourt - We All Went Down With The Ship lyrics

rate me

We were only doing what the captain said

(We all went down with the ship)

The crow's nest splintered on the thicker head

(We all went down with the ship)

The kamikaze pirates and the virgin assassins

Were told they would reach paradise

God is and always be only what is

Can see it in these zealous eyes

They pulled out the monsters that were deep in the mind

(We all went down with the ship)

And they entrusted them on the fiery line

(We all went down with the ship)

I heard about the men who were sent to the trenches

And those with the unmarked graves

Horrors of the British in the Boer War

A charge of the light brigade

And it's a long long way down

Tip the bed of the sea

Oh, where was him until she

She conquers me?

We all suffered for another man's falling

We're all excited by the ego that can't stop

We sing to the boys to rise to the top and sing

We are full of the smell of the charted

Dad was coming from the sheppard to his father

We sing to the boys to rise to the top and sing

We were only taking what the general desired

(We all went down with the ship)

For the good of the people and the Noble Empire

(We all went down with the ship)

The general persuasion of the monster's hand

Shouldered in the ark of this room

These street heap lusts take your measures and

As it twists and distorts every truth

And it's a long long way down

Tip the bed of the sea

Oh, where was him until she

She conquers me?

We all suffered for another man's falling

We're all excited by the ego that can't stop

We sing to the boys to rise to the top and sing

We are full of the smell of the charted

Dad was coming from the sheppard to his father

We sing to the boys to rise to the top and sing

You're only in tune with the killing sound

(We went down with the ship)

We were only doing what the captain said we

(We went down with the ship)
