Lover, Lover, Lover-Ian McCulloch

[00:05.18]I asked my father, [00:07.91]I said, Father change my name. [00:13.77]The one I'm using now it's covered up [00:16.73]with fear and filth and cowardice and shame. [00:23.17]Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me, [00:32.21]yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me. [00:41.58]He said, I locked you in this body, [00:45.30]I meant it as a kind of trial. [00:51.33]You can use it for a weapon, [00:54.55]or to make some woman smile. [01:00.19]Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me, [01:10.62]yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me. [01:56.66]Then let me start again, I cried, [01:59.85]please let me start again, [02:05.41]I want a face that's fair this time, [02:09.20]I want a spirit that is calm. [02:15.38]Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me, [02:24.22]yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me. [02:33.60]I never never turned aside, he said, [02:37.19]I never ever walked away. [02:42.98]It was you who built the temple, [02:47.14]it was you who covered up my face. [02:52.26]Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me, [03:01.75]yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me. [03:31.01]And may the spirit of this song, [03:32.17]may it rise up pure and free. [03:33.46]May it be a shield for you, [03:34.74]a shield against the enemy.
