Babyshambles - A'rebours Lyrics






You sent for me
I was knock knock knocking on death's door
You ignore, adore, a rebours me
You leave me washed up begging for more
If you really cared for me
Ah you'd let me be
You'd set me free
But what you robbed me of is my...
Oh is my liberty

The curtain was calling
You were there blewn away and a rebours
In the mirror bawling
If you want it so much you are gonna have it all
Ah if you really cared for me
Christ knows you'd let me be
You'd set me free
I'm too polite to say...

I defy you all
You know twice as much as nothing at all
It's still nothing at all
I can defy us all
Tides are now turned and hammered it all
Hammered it all

Ah, no, ah no, ah no...

I've been running round this world too much, girl
Pretending not to see
What's drilling me, it's killing me

Oh no, I think I understand
What I misunderstood before
How your love gives me so much more
I am free again, I can see again..

But if I should fall
Would you vow today to pay tomorrow
The fucked off big debt I owe to sorrow...
Ah, oh... sorrow... sorrow...
Ah, oh... sorrow

Ah, no, ah no, ah no...

    This song sounds like the Smiths a lot

  7. N.... ....

    @crackpipe999 most people dont have a problem with it, they're just praying he doesnt die and sticks around to write kick ass music for us all to enjoy

  8. C.... D....

    @crackpipe999 Except for himself, I'm glad that he seems to be looking healthier these days though, I;d hate to see anything bad happen to him because he's so talented and seems a really nice guy too! =] XOXO

  9. s.... ....

    12 people are really confused.

    @Betterman89 Huysmans!! I'm so happy :) you'd be amazed how many people say they love this song, but don't understand the reference.

    This actually sounds like a hundred songs from Britain in the last 40 years, but to me, like a watered down version of the Smiths.

  18. T.... ....

    you should read the book from Huysmans

  19. p.... ....

    i love this song. i have read most of j.k.H novels. though they didn't live in the same century doherty may have found interesting the work of huysmans.

  20. M.... A....

    @crackpipe999 yeah he is hes harming the corporate controlled government that wants to convince everyone drugs are evil so that they can throw everyone in prisons for the sake of population reduction. havent figured it out yet, sometihng along those lines
