Coalman - The Delgados

If we try too hard forgive us

If we try too hard

If we think too much control us

If we think too much

Take a bow in front of us now

Take a bow in spite of us now

If we want too much ignore us

If we want too much

Can we give some back in offers?

Can we give some back?

Take a bow in front of us now

Take a bow in spite of us now

And lo, our voice became one

And the tide did turn

And there were voices overhead

What’s done is done

And we forgot compassion

For we had won

And choice for all is ours alone

What’s won is won

We have time enough to take you

We have time enough

And when we succeed we’ll break you

And we will succeed

Take a bow in front of us now

Take a long last look at us now

And victor’s justice is ours

And you’ll have none

All life is ours to justify

We won, we won

And it’s our right to own you

And you’ll succumb

And freedom’s ours forevermore

Your lives are done
