Lyrics Fears of a Father - Ed Harcourt
You
can
go
and
sing
your
hymns,
You
can
go
and
say
your
prayers
Find
a
way
to
escape
You
can
go
and
chase
your
tail,
Burn
the
ship,
burn
the
sail
Til
your
words
don't
form
any
shape
You
can
hide
yourself
in
the
drink
You
can
teach
your
mind
not
to
think,
Not
be
frightened
to
death
But
when
you
look
in
the
mirror
And
your
eyes
become
clearer
You'll
dig
yourself
outta
this
mess
Dying
ain't
much
over
living
You'll
lose
your
top
billing,
So
take
second
place
Face
all
the
devils
who
lower
your
levels
And
fix
that
crooked
face
Love
of
my
life
You
have
my
heart
Love
of
my
life
You
caught
us
off
guard
Oh
the
fears
of
a
father
don't
scare
me
I'm
ready
to
love
And
now
that
this
star's
ascending
I
will
stop
this
pretending
And
be
the
best
that
I
can
I've
always
shot
from
the
hip
Never
bitten
my
lip
It's
a
trait
that
you'll
soon
understand
But
I've
got
a
good
way
to
spoil
Before
I
shuffle
off
this
coil
And
feel
the
air
turn
thin
Oh
if
I
broke
any
oath
fear
of
losing
you
both
Well
I
just
don't
know
where
to
begin
Dying
ain't
much
over
living
You'll
lose
your
top
billing
So
take
second
place
Face
all
the
devils
who
lower
your
levels
And
fix
that
crooked
face
Love
of
my
life
You
have
my
heart
Love
of
my
life
You
caught
us
off
guard
Oh
the
fears
of
a
father
don't
scare
I'm
ready
for
love
You
won't
find
me
by
the
streetlights
Or
hanging
off
the
rails
Climbing
up
the
steeple
or
on
a
bed
of
nails
Drowning
all
my
sorrows
for
the
sake
of
saving
face
Burning
all
my
bridges
Cause
I
think
they'll
light
my
way
Oh
blood
of
my
blood
You
have
my
heart
Love
of
my
life
You
caught
us
off
guard
Oh
the
fears
of
a
father
don't
scare
me
I'm
ready
to
love
