Take The Heartland Lyrics


I’m gonna hide my heart behind the peacock’s fan,
And keep my friends real close, yeah, this is how it’s gonna go.
I’m gonna find my knife and run it through those stitches,
Throw my friends down in the ditches before they even know
what I’ve come here for.
Take the Heartland with a sense of revenge
Take the Heartland and make it look easy
Take the Heartland- you’ll die in the end
Take the Heartland
I’m gonna grow my hair down to my face like a Fidel Castro; like a Che Guevara or a Fidel Castro
And I’m gonna grant my folk my life’s one last wish
and I’m gonna take their life with a knife
and I’m gonna sit and wait, not fall
Take the Heartland with a sense of revenge
Take the Heartland and make it look easy
Take the Heartland- we’ll die in the end
Take the Heartland
Should I kill you with my sword, yeah?

Or should I kill you with this word?
You say sit, you say stand,
you say stop, you say go,
You say sit, you say stop,
You say what, you say no,
You say go, you say sit,
You say stand, you say stop,
You say go, you say sit,
And you sit and you watch us all.
Should I kill you with my sword, yeah?
Or should I kill you with this word?
Take the Heartland
Take the Heartland - your sense of revenge
Take the Heartland- you make it look easy
Take the Heartland
I set myself by the west, by the watch, by the wall,
I set myself by the wish, by the watch, by the wall,
I set myself by the words, by the watch, by the wall,
I set myself by the words, by the voice that I heard.

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Vocalist and guitarist for Irish rock group The Frames. Hansard quit school at age 13 to begin busking on local Dublin streets. He first came to public attention as guitar player 'Outspan Foster' in the Alan Parker film The Commitments, a role he subsequently regretted, believing it distracted from his music career. In 2003 he presented the first series of Other Voices: Songs from a Room, which showcased Irish music talent on RTÉ. He released The Swell Season, his first solo album, on April 21st 2006, in collaboration with a Czech singer and multiinstrumentalist Markéta Irglová, Marja Tuhkanen and Bertrand Galen.

Glen recently starred in the movie 'Once' alongside Markéta Irglová which won a prestigious Sundance Audience Award in 2007, as well as the 2008 Academy Award for Best Originial Song (for "Falling Slowly"), beating out three songs from the Disney musical "Enchanted" and one song from "August Rush" (both were heavy contenders). Its Irish release took place on 23rd March 2007 and appeared in cinemas further afield later in the year.

Glen's latest album, Rhythm and Repose, was released in June 2012.
