Emma Pollock - Clemency lyrics

Pushed down Fell down No matter how you swing it you've hit the ground Feels like Looks like From every point of view you've tumbled And you blame gravity But you have to leave the ledge to make the fall And you want clemency I will clip your wings whilst sleeping If you venture home again And I will cut your legs from under you If you so much as say her name So much as say her name Shame faced and disgraced Crawling back from deep within the mire If you confess all You really think you still won't face the fire? And the company that you are keeping Do not care for words of grace Who needs explanations? Our memories are longer Than you might have bargained for And the whispers do suggest You'll need a**istance at the door You can return the things you've stolen But you can't give back the hope The noose is getting tighter And the rope is near to broke The rope is near to broke Pushed down Fell down No matter how you swing it you've hit the ground Feels like Looks like From every point of view you've tumbled
