You had to win / You couldn't just pass / The smartest ass / At the top of the class / Your flying colours / your family tree / And all your lessons in history
Please... please... please get up off your knees... please... please... please... leave me out of this / Please
And you never knew how low you'd stoop to make that call / And you never knew what was on the ground till they made you crawl / And you never knew that the heaven you keep you stole
Your catholic blues / Your convent shoes / Your stick on tattoos / Now they're making the news / Your holy war / your northern star / Your sermon on the mount / From the boot of your car / Please... please... please get up off your knees... please... please... leave me out of this / Please / So love is hard and love is tough / But love is not what you're thinking of
September... streets capsizing... spilling over, down the drain / ...shards of glass splinters like rain but you could only feel your own pain... / October... talking getting nowhere... November... December... Remember... / Are we just starting again...?
So love is big bigger than us / But love is not what you're thinking of / It's what lovers deal it's what lovers steal / You know I've found it hard to receive / Cause you my love I could never believe
