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
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
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
...

Billy Bragg Your Name On My Tongue Comments
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.
such a shame there are only 9,000 views for a truly great song, from a truly excellent album!
Love this song so much, and I don't really know why it's so beautiful, it just is
He's been breaking my heart for 25 years. Beautiful, Bill.
Couldn't agree more, truly beautiful
