Foals - What Went Down lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

I buried my heart in a hole in the ground

With the lights & the roses & the cowards downtown

They threw me a party, there was no one around

They tried to call my girl but she could not be found

I buried my guilt in a pit in the sand

With the rust & the vultures & the trash downtown

So don't step to me, kid, u'll neva be found

Cos' while u were sleepin', I took ova ur town

(Chorus)

When I see a man, I see a liar

When I see a man, I see a liar

U're the apple of my eye, of my eye, of my eye

U're the apple of my eye, of my eye, won't you

(Verse 2)

I fell for a girl with a port white stain

I knew her initials, but neva her name

I tried & I tried & I was neva the same

So held on, threw love & I'm foreva changed

(Chorus)

(Post-Chorus)

Give up my money, give up my name, take it away

I'll give it away, I'll give it away, I'll give it

When I see a man, I see a liar

When I see a man, I see a liar

(Bridge)

When I see a man, I see a liar

When I see a man, I see a liar

U're the apple of my eye, of my eye, of my eye

U're the apple of my eye, of my eye, won't you

Give up my money, give up my name, take it away

I'll give it away, give it away, I'll give it

I'm a sympathetic animal, I'm a sympathetic animal

I'm a sympathetic animal

Break up the chain, I'll break up the chain, I'll break it

Give it away, I'll give it away, I'll give it

When I see a man, I see a liar

When I see a man, I see a liar

U're the apple of my eye, of my eye, of my eye

U're the apple of my eye, of my eye, won't you

Give up my money, give up my name, take it away

Give it away, give it away, I'll give it

See u again, I'll see u again, I'll see you

Give it away, I'll give it away, I'll give it

When I feel low, when I feel low, I feel it

When I see a man, I see a liar

When I see a man, I see a liar

U're the apple of my eye, of my eye, of my eye

U're the apple of my eye, of my eye, won't you
