I fought the angels
The Delgados

I fought the angels here today,
Hope my defeat will end this play.
Everybody knows that,
I only have myself to blame.
Everybody knows that,
Softly softly wins the game.

Trust,
I'll try to learn again,
My words, are seldom for a friend.

Knew, at the time that they came out.
Wish, I could have them disallowed.
Everybody knows that,
We say things we do not mean.
Everybody knows that,
We say things that are unclean.

Trust,
I'll try to learn again,
My words, are seldom for a friend.

Run, conversations in my head,
Write, my own scripts to dish the dread.
And if I speak out loud,
I will have to change the rules.
For speakings out of bounds,
If it's practised by a fool.

Trust,
I'll try to learn again,
My words, are seldom for a friend.
So lend me, an ear to lean upon,
To speak to, and learn my speaking from.
