Palma Violets - English Tongue Lyrics






You can't judge life if you can't understand
The way that we work we're a close knit plan
Don't speak to me in that judgement tone
You're going with me or you're going alone

Full headlights shoot one for the other
The stretch in my eye, you're my four-four brother
And everybody knows just who I am
My name's Hugh Diver, I'm the starlit strand

There must be someone with an English tongue
Marking your words for the miles you lost
It's gonna be
A cruel cruel winter

The go zone girls in the club don't agree
They called me in but there was nothing to see
All the folk poke their eyes at me
Is it just my fame or infamy?

Up jumped the devil and the cavalry
Everyone's excited, they're watching me
And everybody knows just who I am
My name's Hugh Diver, I'm the starlit strand

There must be someone with an English tongue
Marking your words for the miles you lost
It's gonna be

Let him go
Let him go
And everybody knows just who I am
And everybody knows just who I am
And everybody knows just who I am
My name's Hugh Diver, I'm the starlit strand
