don't get up

from i speak the truth : part one by thenight

lyrics

don't, don't you dare get up
let me fill your cup with your favourite sweet white wine
i'll sing my favourite songs and my favourite rhymes

well tell me sweet girl what you know 'bout the world
have you seen the death? have you seen the mess we've made?
i guess it's human to dissect everything we create
well i've found truth in the simplest of things
and the tiny little insignificant things
like the sound of the rain on a rusted tin roof
or the constantly changing shape of the moon
in the colour of you, when you feel something new
the whole world keeps spinning
it doesn't need our approval
the sound of sweet voices when they all shout at once,
they sing you'll always be chasing the meaning of love
if there's one thing i've learned, it's that people are selfish
they don't care what they have, don't care who they hurt,
and nothing can change that, no not even god, in some countries they'll kill you for who brought you up.

well yeah i believe, yeah i have faith
but i don't have a will and i don't have a way
well repent for your sins, it's like washing your skin,
it will feel good for now but it'll only get dirty again.

about

thenight Sydney, Australia

thenight (originally she's themorning and thenight) spawned from the song writing of lead singer Neal Critchley.

From this, add a little bit of rhythm here, a sprinkle of strings, and a dash of melody over there, and you have made yourself a band with great integrity and dedication. We are thenight, and we will have you singing along in no time.
