Lyrics

Mama told me not to get involved But I never did what I was told Always drawn into the golden light And it would happen every single night Carry on, carry on, carry on We were living by the marble rule Never talking to the jakes or turning up at school And I'd pretend that I was fine enough That I was never giving up Carry on, carry on, carry on And I saw my devil closing in Never thought I'd do such a bad thing You saved me though, little by little love And I try so hard to bury that stuff Never thought I'd get so fucked up You saved me though, little by little love, little by little love Misbehaviour, clocking up reports Where's your manners, where's the things you're taught I say "What's your business with the things I do?" You say "Boy, if you only had a clue" Carry on, carry on, carry on All them years of never thinking straight In my own way I was a lightweight All my demons came whispering Telling me carry on, carry on, carry on And I saw my devil closing in Never thought I'd do such a bad thing You saved me though, little by little love And I try so hard to bury that stuff Never thought I'd get so fucked up You saved me though, little by little love, little by little love Little by little love, little by little love Little by little love And I saw my devil closing in Never thought I'd do such a bad thing You saved me though, little by little love And I try so hard to bury that stuff Never thought I'd get so fucked up You saved me though, little by little love, little by little love Little by little love, little by little love Little by little love, little by little love Little by little love, little by little love Little by little love, little by little love Little by little love, little by little love
