I'd give it up as a test

The shadow it gets

We walk and we talk and we forget about this

I hear the clangs of the west

The industrial scene it sets

The bishop's turn to a unions address

That thorn caught in my side

You said you believed in this

I'm ready to forgive

You said you believed in this

There's something in my heart

There's something in the food, the wine, the blood, the stinging the nettle gives

There's something in the hymn, the line, the bond, the place where the metal rings

There's something in the time we spent, time we left, time we went laughing through the dark

I'm not giving my name back

Let's give it up for today

Recite my old street back to you

Can we not resist today?

I'm not ready to reject

There's something in the food, the wine, the blood, the stinging the nettle gives

There's something in the hymn, the line, the bond, the place where the metal rings

I'm not giving up on the day, the time we went laughing through the dark

There's something in the way we spent, time we lent, time we went laughing through the dark

There's something in the food, the wine, the blood, the stinging the nettle gives

I'm not giving up on the day, the time we went laughing through the dark

I'm not giving up yet
