lyrics

A good song

She should have punched him harder
She should have broke his jaw like he broke her heart
And because her trust was poisoned
For a while she fell apart

Your lover may do, your best friend may do
But a good song won’t let you down
The government may do, the whole world may do
But a good song won’t let you down.

He cast his vote for the big man
It cost him his job, it lost him his home
And as the words of that liar derailed him
For a time he felt alone,

I hear a melody, holding caressing me
It’s just some words and a tune
A song can stay in your head
Sheding its light in the gloom

They’d come too far to go back
The border control turned them around
They were two steps away from salvation
And for a while they just lay on the ground
For a while they just clung to the ground.
