Frank Turner: Hold Your Tongue

I could only find covers of this song on here and none of them did it justice.
Taken from 'The first three years'.
I don't own this track, all credit goes to frank turner.

Had to come here for a listen after finally hearing Frank do it live last night at Lost Evenings. Amazing.

You've been pretty since the day that you were born So the roots of your beautiful hair Drew all the water that your body could hold So when your soul needed water, no water was there. You shed words like so much dead skin They gather up like dust against walls They kick up when someone comes in So when they're looking for something they find nothing at all. Hold your goddamn tongue You forget yourself. How could I be the one If you're wrapped round someone else? And I really don't know which feels worse To be a fool or be with a liar. I just know that heart once soaked and cursed Is that much harder to set on fire. And I won't let this die Until I've seen you cry A single tear to show There's water in your soul.

I love this song - FTHC :)

[@ZKusand]

@hbctvi stands for hardcore. It's based on the logos from 80s American hardcore scenes like nyhc, lahc etc.

[@Thunderwolf666]

Hmm. An advert for a "poptastic" compilation album played at the start. Great targeted marketing there...

[@ZKusand]

@Peace7out yeah, like I said...

[@hbctvi]

It would be easier if not the last verse. I don't want to know there is water. I just want to fell anger.
