I Fought The Angels The Delgados

I Fought The Angels
The Delgados
  

I fought the angels here today 
Hope my defeat will end this play 
I only have myself to blame 
Everybody knows that 
Softly softly wins the game

Trust 
I'll try to learn again 
My words are seldom for a friend

Knew all the time that they came out 
Wish I could have them disallowed 
Everybody knows that 
We say things we do not mean 
Everybody jnows that 
We say things that are unclean

Trust 
I'll try to learn again 
My words are seldom for a friend

Run conversations in my head 
Write my own scripts to dish the dread 
And if I speak out loud 
I will have to change the rules 
For speaking out of bounds 
If it's practised by a fool

Trust 
I'll try to learn again 
My words are seldom for a friend 
So lend me an ear to lean upon 
To speak to and learn my speaking from
