Billy Bragg - Your Name On My Tongue Lyrics






I heard the bell ringing
In tower of lost desire
Grown from small beginnings
The living world undone

Now it hums and is singing
Like words out on the wire
Hanging like surrender
Your name on my tongue

Grief was my companion
It pushed me like a sea
Compass blade at my throat
Pointing up to the sun

Fear begs a strange courage
It's a holy conspiracy
The trips me down the path
Your name on my tongue

Your name on my tongue
Your name on my tongue
Your name on my tongue

Get it up, pick it up, fix it up, one more time
Get it up, pick it up, fix it up, one more time

'Cause I'm still in love
Yeah I'm still in love
I'm still in love
With you

I've set out a table
I've made up my bed
The ceiling above my head
The floor where you run

But I've barely been able
To hold my own or my peace
But I'll never let go
Your name on my tongue
...

  1. I.... V....

    I heard the bell ringing
    In tower of last desire
    Crum fumb small beginnings
    The living world undone
    Now it hums that is singing
    Like words out on the wire
    They don’t like surrender
    Your name on my tongue
    Grief was my companion
    It pushed me like a seed
    Compass blade at my fool
    Pointing up to the sun
    Fear bears a strange courage
    It’s a whole conspiracy
    The troops kneel down the path
    Your name on my tongue
    Your name on my tongue
    Your name on my tongue
    Your name on my tongue
    Get up, get up, fix it up, no time
    Get up, fix it, fix it up, no time
    Get up, get up, fix it up, no time
    Get up, fix it, fix it up, no time
    Cause I’m still in love, yeah I’m still in love
    I’ve set out a table, I’ve made up my bed
    Ceiling above my head, the floor down
    But I’ve barely been able
    To hold my own on my peace
    But I’ll never let go,
    Your name on my tongue
    Your name on my tongue
    Your name on my tongue
    Your name on my tongue.

    He’s a bad tipper! He tipped nothing here in Minneapolis. These jobs in the us are solid work, and when your Ilk refuses to participate, you fuck over working people Billy Bragg. Walk your actual walk, ya shithead.

  3. M.... P....

    such a shame there are only 9,000 views for a truly great song, from a truly excellent album!

  4. H.... L....

    Love this song so much, and I don't really know why it's so beautiful, it just is

  5. T.... ....
