Delgados - I Fought The Angels текст песни

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 speaking's 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.
