The Concretes Layourbattleaxedown Lyrics
1.Sugar

He sings a song
And it break my heart in two
As he choose to place
The chorus in the end

And then he gives me sugar
Again instead of salt
So that I'll come runnin' back for more
Bye, bye, sugar again


2.Lady December

Lady december my heart is all yours
Beats like a drum
I've never asked you, but do you wear loads
When it goes far below?

You lay down your cloak of snow
And it spreads all over
Lend me you hand and I'll give you a
Rush of the heat

(Chorus)
Forgive n' forget
Forgive n' forget

Mission maid sowing her seeds
Working her way through the frost
This she said she does to bring some hope
For the oncoming season (what spring will bring)

She feeds me something that looks really old
But it tastes brand new (sweet cherry wine)
In the back of my head I hear children sing
About forgive n' forget (forgive n' forget)

Forgive n' forget
Forgive n' forget
When the gale wind blows
When the gale wind blows

Ladycember, ladycember, ladycember, ladycember


3.Warrior

I remember you, bird of my heart
Flew in from the west
Your chest so red n' strong
Have you been to war, have you been to war
Lay you battleaxe down
And come around for me
Final nest for you, bird of my heart
Lay down to rest
This song I made for you
Have you been to war, have you been to war
Lay your battleaxe down
And come around for med, and come around for me.


4.Branches

Among the branches, I feel no fear
I rest my head against their bark
Remember how I used to watch them
From the ground

But now it's me in the branches
'Cause I made up my mind
That I wanted to be one of their leaves


5.Under Your Leaves

Under your leaves I laid
With wishes you'd call my name
And bring me to you well
So my thirst no longer is
You know I'll do anything for you

Bring singing birds to your crown
Climb to the very top of you
Though I might fall
But one day I must go

To get myself a warmer coat
I'll promise I'll be back real soon
Back under your leaves again


6.Seems Fine Shuffle

Seems fine though it ain't no no no no
Seems fine though it ain't no no
I got to find me a way to flow
Deep in the heart I'll seek and find it all


7.Oh Baby

I came to see you 'cause I wanted to speak to you
But when I came around you didn't treat me good
So I am going home with saddened feelings
But I will find me another way?

And I came around 'cause I wanted to hold you
But when I came around you didn't treat me good
So I am going home with saddened feelings
But I will find me another way

Oh, baby, this ain't working out
No, baby, this not what we're about
Baby, this ain't working out
No, baby, this not what we're about

Oh, baby, this ain't working out
No, baby, this not what we're about
Oh, baby, this ain't working out
No, baby, this not what we're about

And baby, this ain't working out
No, baby, this not what we're about
What we're about


8.Sand

Do you lay on your side in the sand?
Do you lay on your side in the sand?
If you do I'll be coming for you

And I lay beside you in the sand
Put my arm around your waist
And if I do will you come for me?


9.Free Ride

You have been waiting long to get over
Some are already gone
Still the walk is hard as hoping
For the only one

And all is you and a free ride back
And all I know there's a rise in the sun in me

If I will love again will my heart allow
Still the walk is hard as hoping for the only one
All is you and a free ride back
And all I know there's a rise in the sun in me

And all is you and a free ride back
And all I know there's a rise in the sun in me
And all is you and a free ride back
And all I know there's a rise in the sun in me

And all is you and a free ride back
And all I know there's a rise in the sun in me


10.Miss You

I've been hanging out so long
I've been waiting on your call
Lord, I miss you

I've been sleeping all alone
I've been hanging by the phone
Want to kiss you

I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been starring in my dreams
Lord, I miss you

I've been waiting in the hall
Been waiting on your call
When the phone rings

It's just some friends of mine that say:
'Hey, what's the matter, girl
Can you come around at 12?
There's some fine boys dying to meet you
Bring a case of wine
You know, like we used to,'

Oh, everybody waits so long
Oh baby, why you wait so long?

Oh, everybody waits so long
Oh baby, why you wait so long?


11.Forces

Runnin' like horses
In the wild
We'll learn to love
In a while

Following forces
In the ground
Yes, we're runnin' like horses
In the wild
