Babyshambles A Rebours Lyrics

A Rebours Lyrics



You sent for me

I was knock knock knocking on death's door

You ignore, adore, a rebours me

You leave me washed up begging for more

If you really cared for me

Ah you'd let me be

You'd set me free

But what you robbed me of is my...

Oh is my liberty



The curtain was calling

You were there blewn away and a rebours

In the mirror bawling

If you want it so much you are gonna have it all

Ah if you really cared for me

Christ knows you'd let me be

You'd set me free

I'm too polite to say...



I defy you all

You know twice as much as nothing at all

It's still nothing at all

I can defy us all

Tides are now turned and hammered it all

Hammered it all



Ah, no, ah no, ah no...



I've been running round this world too much, girl

Pretending not to see

What's drilling me, it's killing me



Oh no, I think I understand

What I misunderstood before

How your love gives me so much more

I am free again, I can see again..



But if I should fall

Would you vow today to pay tomorrow

The fucked off big debt I owe to sorrow...

Ah, oh... sorrow... sorrow...

Ah, oh... sorrow



Ah, no, ah no, ah no...







Demo Version



You sent for me

I came knock knock knocking upon death's door

You ignore, adore, a rebours me

You always leave me washed up begging for more

If you really cared for me

Christ knows you'd let me be

You'd set me free



The curtain was calling

As the sun set on a distant shore

You were in the mirror bawling

If you want it so much you can have it all

But you're saying you care for me

Well if you did you'd let me be, set me free

But what you robbed me of was my liberty



I defy you all

You know twice as much as nothing at all

It's still nothing at all

I defy you all

I know ten times as much as ten times you all

It's still nothing at all



You send for me

I came knock knock knocking upon death's door

You ignore, adore, a rebours me

You leave me washed up begging for more

If you really cared for me

Well you'd leave me be, you'd set me free

Now you have my liberty



The curtain was calling

As the sun sets on a distant shore

The bad boys are brawling

If you want it so much you can have it all

If you say you care for me

Can't you see

If you'd let me be

I'm too polite to say fuck off



I defy you all

I know twice as much as ten times you all
