The Granite Shore - Artiste & Repertoire lyrics

[Verse 1] Just like every band of brothers We held a future in our heads We cut our cloth together Every day You and I and all the others Slept on floors instead of beds We went all out hell for leather as we Made our way [Chorus 1] And in a voice so sweet and brown You would sing each honeyed word Breathed alive as they came dripping from my pen And as we tore the old world down It would've just seemed so absurd To try to put it back together again [Verse 2] Then with a foot upon the ladder We ditched a couple of the boys You couldn't see that they had Earned their keep Then it all got that bit madder Bigger, brighter, faster toys The bridges that we burned were over waters Running deep [Chorus 2] Then in a voice so sweet and brown You would sing each honeyed word There seemed no limit to the power of my pen And when I came to put it down It felt so heavy and I wondered Could we put it back together again? [Chorus 3] Although you sold us down the river For some silver and a ribbon For less than that you don't get out of bed I will defend you to the d**h To my very final breath and I won't let them harm a hair upon your head
