Young Fathers - In My View

[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

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[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

[Post-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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)

[Outro]

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
