Cuts his hand against the iron chest
Not selected over accomplishments
From a gatehouse I will carve my charm
And from the bottom of my stone cold heart
And we've come so far
A little healthy bit of culture
Never killed you anyway
You wrapped yourself in cotton wool for so long
And you can't take that away
Seven sisters make a list of all
the childhood runaways
It's really hard to court
But old romantics die together
But we rally on
Cuts your hands against the iron bridge
Not connected by a common aim
Like his friends may claim
A little healthy bit of culture
never killed you anyway
You wrapped yourself in cotton wool for so long
and you can't take that away
Seven sisters make a list of all
the childhood runaways
It's really hard to court
But old romantics die together
But we rally on
Oh
Have you ever been down there
Have you ever been grounded
Have been down there
Have you ever taken the yoke
And flown right to the sea
Have you ever been down there
Have you ever been grounded
Have you ever been down there
This stone cold heart never made a start
A little healthy bit of culture
never killed you anyway
You wrapped yourself in cotton wool for so long
and you can't take that away
Seven sisters make a list of all
the childhood runaways
It's really hard to court
But old romantics die together
Old semantics die forever
Old romantics die together
But we rally on
Oh
