Young Fathers - In My View Lyrics






Lay my belly on a woman
Leave a damsel for Delilah
Dagger for the damned, the damned, the damned
Fine wine and foie gras

In my view, nothing's ever given away
I believe to advance then you must pay
In my view, love will never come my way
So, when I leave, you'll be dancing on my grave

I wanna be king until I am
A man is just a man, I understand
Has everything gone to plan?
Don't say it out loud, just let me dance

I know you wanna, say you wanna
I never said I was a saint, I'm a sin again, ah
Sin again, ah, and then a sinner
Again, again, ah, again, again, ah
I really wanna take your honour
I'm writing blank checks, I'm a greedy bugger
I'll take your daughter to feel the thunder
Daddy's little girl, now the reaper got her

In my view, nothing's ever given away
I believe to advance then you must pay
In my view, love will never come my way
So, when I leave, you'll be dancing on my grave

Lay my belly on a woman
Leave a damsel for Delilah
Dagger for the damned, the damned, the damned
Fine wine and foie gras
The torture makes it sweet
So sweet, even more delicious
Animal, rest in peace
You're no longer vicious (In my view)
Animal, rest in peace
You're no longer vicious (I believe)
Animal, rest in peace
Say no more, please baby (In my view)
Animal, rest in, you're no longer vicious
Say no more, please (I believe)
Just cradle, cradle
You're no longer vicious
In my view, nothing's ever given away
Say no more, please baby
Just cradle, cradle me

In my view, nothing's ever given away
(Damned, the damned, the damned, the damned, the damned)
I believe to advance then you must pay
(Say no more, please)
In my view, love will never come my way
(Animal, rest in peace)
So, when I leave, you'll be dancing on my grave
You'll be dancing on my grave
(You're no longer vicious)

Trickles down your mouth into your hand
I wanna be king until I am
I wanna be king until I am
I wanna be king until I am
Man, oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man

  31. H.... ....

    So next episode are they sending a white guy to Africa to make the same ignorant points and complaints against Africa like you did in the Scottish Museum?

  32. A.... T....

    .....starch

  33. S.... A....

    the part from 2:48 to the end literally needs to be like 2 minutes longer, I don't know why but i just love playing it over and over

  34. M.... ....

    Tsall good, but you can't fight a painting

  35. R.... W....

    Young Fathers are a band based in Edinburgh, Scotland. I never expected that.

  36. �.... �....

    this is sickening

  37. i.... ....

    Pretentious douchebags.

  43. H.... A....

    So underrated masterpiece

  44. O.... E....

    It's soo cool!

  45. M.... F....

    Cocoa Sugar was easily my favorite album of 2018, but I think also for the past 5 years. That album just fucking moved me, man.

  46. M.... B....

    That was incredible!

  47. W.... b....

    Trash fvgg0t shit

  48. T.... V....

    Who can say "Generic"

  49. a.... ....

    some retarded shit

  50. A.... B....

    I saw them open for florence + the machine the other day and now im obsessed

  51. L.... Y....

    Beautiful song

  52. a.... ....

    I'm exploring them because they were supporting Florence and the Machine. Gosh, they are so underrated, need more recognition! I really enjoyed their set before FATM, but I wasn't even a fan of them!

  53. J.... ....

    Just seen them live as the support for Florence and the Machine - it was amazing :)

    J.... ....

    Same 😂

    J.... ....

    same B)

    J.... ....

    I’m at her concert right now in Rotterdam and they’re performing atm, I had to look them up after this song 😍

    J.... ....

    Me too, but they played as a duo (+ drummer). Has G Hastings left the band?

    J.... ....

    I find them much more original and genuine than Florence and the Machine, definitely deserve more attention

  54. P.... N....

    I saw them in Hamburg on the Florence + The Machine concert and I didn't knew them before but they were so great💕.

  55. R.... ....

    Is this the guy that was bitching about there being no Black Scottish guys?

  56. A.... S....

    Honestly, the songs sound so much better here...but live was a bit of disaster. They are the opening act for Florence and the machine. Anyways, here it sounds great!😊

    A.... S....

    Yes, but in Hamburg it was okay. They did not have to read the lyrics there, it was a better tune, sounded better.... Well, it was a way better performance then cologne

    A.... S....

    Anyways, I really enjoy this and toy on YouTube. It's pretty good!

    A.... S....

    @Natsu Momo good to know! It was a mess in Munich too, where i saw them.

    A.... S....

    I think it may have something to do with them performing without Graham. Both times I heard it live it did sound really really good.

    A.... S....

    @Martyna Wypych this might be
    A missing person always changes the sound

  57. E.... S....

    Brilliant!

  58. F.... W....

    My god. Utterly beautiful.

  59. K.... W....

    Beauty from start to finish... cant stop listening to this one! Whole album is amazing though¬!

  60. �.... ....

    初めて聞いた時から名曲だと思ったけど、時間を置いた今、聞いてて切なくも温かな気持ちになるこの曲に出会えたことを幸運だと思う。

  61. A.... E....

    Just came here from the Scottish National Portrait Gallery video. So why do they dislike the Scots?

  62. N.... ....

    Racist pos band

  63. M.... O....

    [Intro]
    Lay my belly on a woman
    Leave a damsel for Delilah
    Dagger for the damned, the damned, the damned
    Fine wine and foie gras

    [Chorus]
    In my view, nothing’s ever given away
    I believe to advance then you must pay
    In my view, love will never come my way
    So, when I leave, you’ll be dancing on my grave

    I wanna be king until I am
    A man is just a man, I understand
    Has everything gone to plan?
    Don’t say it out loud, just let me dance

    Say no more, please baby (In my view)
    Animal, rest in, you're no longer vicious
    Say no more, please (I believe)
    Just cradle, cradle
    You're no longer vicious
    In my view, nothing’s ever given away
    Say no more, please baby
    Just cradle, cradle me
