Born Alone
I heard it on the daily news
Reporters asking for the views of police
On St Ann's Street
And locked inside the county hall
The magistrates are held in high esteem
But their mind's meet
Lucy's balance on the ropes is wavering
Between teenage love and teenage hope
I hear her sing
We are Born Alone
I heard it on the daily news
Politician's lit a fuse attached to a time bomb
They blew the city to the sky
And underneath that rubble lies the last of their own young
This is her pendulum
I hope it's her lowest swing
And though her heartache's not on show
She is deafening
We are Born Alone
With nothing to our name but flesh and bone
We are Born Alone
And we could start to fight tonight as one
They'll say what they believe
They'll say what they believe
They'll say it like they mean it
They will say what they believe
But when the congregation leaves
They won't redeem me
And Lucy's balance on the ropes is wavering
Between teenage love and teenage hope
I hear her sing
We are Born Alone
With nothing to our name but flesh and bone
We are Born Alone
And we could start to fight tonight as one
We are Born Alone
With nothing to our name but flesh and bone
We are Born Alone
And we could start to fight tonight as one
We are Born Alone
I hear her sing, she is deafening
We are Born Alone
I hear her sing, she is deafening
Reporters asking for the views of police
On St Ann's Street
And locked inside the county hall
The magistrates are held in high esteem
But their mind's meet
Lucy's balance on the ropes is wavering
Between teenage love and teenage hope
I hear her sing
We are Born Alone
I heard it on the daily news
Politician's lit a fuse attached to a time bomb
They blew the city to the sky
And underneath that rubble lies the last of their own young
This is her pendulum
I hope it's her lowest swing
And though her heartache's not on show
She is deafening
We are Born Alone
With nothing to our name but flesh and bone
We are Born Alone
And we could start to fight tonight as one
They'll say what they believe
They'll say what they believe
They'll say it like they mean it
They will say what they believe
But when the congregation leaves
They won't redeem me
And Lucy's balance on the ropes is wavering
Between teenage love and teenage hope
I hear her sing
We are Born Alone
With nothing to our name but flesh and bone
We are Born Alone
And we could start to fight tonight as one
We are Born Alone
With nothing to our name but flesh and bone
We are Born Alone
And we could start to fight tonight as one
We are Born Alone
I hear her sing, she is deafening
We are Born Alone
I hear her sing, she is deafening
