James Yorkston - Temptation lyrics

At this stage it should be said this could be nothing Or this it could be great And all my grand plans could be thrown into disarray But I must take the blame a half-hard word A broken promise Is that really you offers? Is that really you're offering me? If all it takes is envy and a mention of her name To drive you off the rails Temptation will I survive I'm sure I will The temptation is rife to follow your lead Colour your eyes To take your chances, to take your chances whilst We have them And I can't stand to see you as drunk as you are Slurring your words and staggering It's all too much for me to take in So I will just find refuge in a well harvested harbour Bar and I'll be slurring my words and staggering but Where's the harm in that it seems? And now you've seen me lost, deserted and confused Is the love still there? Am I the man, am I the man That you imagined? The temptation is rife, to follow Your lead colour your eyes, to take your chances, to Take your chances whilst you have them You know that I hate you, but that's not true at all Sometimes I want to hold you tight and sometimes I Want to throw you against the wall, but that's not Hate at all it's love in all it's glory all the Contradictions and the questions that I don't Understand and I probably never will If all it takes is envy and a mention of her name To drive you off the rails Temptation will I survive I'm sure I will The temptation is rife to follow your lead Colour your eyes To take your chances, to take your chances whilst We have them At this stage it should be said this could be nothing Or this it could be great And all my grand plans could be thrown into disarray But I must take the blame a half-hard word A broken promise Is that really you offers? Is that really you're offering me? And now you've seen me lost, deserted and confused Is the love still there? Am I the man, am I the man That you imagined? The temptation is rife, to follow Your lead colour your eyes, to take your chances, to Take your chances whilst you have them If all it takes is envy and a mention of her name To drive you off the rails Temptation will I survive I'm sure I will The temptation is rife to follow your lead Colour your eyes To take your chances, to take your chances whilst We have them
