Billy Bragg - Rule Nor Reason lyrics

rate me

The wind sways the trees and the raindrops on the leaves

Tumble down, down my neck in the breeze

Yes, it's true I hid out in the shadow of your doubt,

And this medal that I wear is not for bravery, I'm afraid

And we're both going to have to accept

That this might be as good as it gets

As our love for each other respects

Neither rule nor reason

The Queen on her throne plays Shirley Bassey

records when she's all on her own

And she looks out the window

And cries

What should I do? Scratch off all of my tattoos?

And forget those girls' names?

But you're not about to let me do that, are you?

And we're both going to have to accept

That this might be as bad as it gets

As our love for each other respects

Neither rule nor reason

And we're both going to have to accept

That this might be as big as it gets

As our love for each other respects

Neither rule nor reason
