This Boy Lyrics


Never ever wanted to fight in your war
Never wanted to fight your wars for you
This boy only believes in loveNever wanted to sign away my rights
Never wanted to hand over my life
This boy only believes in loveThis boy bends backwards
While this boy crawls on his tummy
And this boy prays for forgiveness for all of our sins
For the state we're inSometimes I feel like I'm sleepwalking
In a big and haunted house
Just stumbling around in the darkness
Can't seem to get to sleep at night
Because of the lies, the lies, the lies
Is all we've been toldSometimes it's hard for us to find the truth
In a world we no longer seem to understand
But don't let them break us and don't let them nail us
Into boxes for the old man's pleaThis boy is coming home from the war
Coming in from the cold, to settle old scores
End old scorn

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Brendan Perry (born 30 June 1959 in Whitechapel, London) was half of one of the most successful and enduring acts in 4AD's history: Dead Can Dance. He spent 16 years searching the world for meaning and knowledge through music in partnership with Lisa Gerrard, then turned his attention to a solo record which would continue this exploration. Although Eye of the Hunter was released in October 1999, Brendan began work on the album while Dead Can Dance were still active - the idea was inspired, in part, by his incredible solo performance during 4AD's 13 Year Itch celebrations at the ICA in 1993.
