The Birth Of The True lyrics

Song information

Artist: Aztec Camera
Album: Knife

Lyrics

Words and music by roddy frame

I feel the magic that our time has traced
And make a point of it in every place
But every place deserves a curse or two
For making me so far away from you

I saw some pictures of the world at war
I couldn't suss what all the fuss was for
I wear a picture of you wearing black
And kissing me behind the butler's back

Sometimes I get down
But it's not you that gets me down
It's just the sense of the impossible
Gratuitously handed down

Chorus:
But oh no, not you, don't wipe your eyes over lies
Just let them shine their blue
On every whisper that welcomes the inconceivable
And the birth of the true

I'd sack the world and make a second start
I'd sack my head until I found my heart
I'd fill the distance with a red parade
And burn the banks down while the bugles played

Sometimes I get down
But it's not you that gets me down
It's just the sense of the impossible
Gratuitously handed down

Chorus
