We both know that I curse and I swear
My way through every day
And I lose my patience with
You and the kids
But please don’t mistake my curses for wishes
That you would change
Given half a chance to do it all again I would
Given half a chance to do it all again I would
I am the undefeated champion of under-appreciation
But I try to treasure every day with you
I have failed to set the world alight
I have failed to put the world to rights
But I know my victory is you
Given half a chance to do it all again I would
Given half a chance to do it all again I would
Given half a chance to do it all again I would
Every pipe band marching past
The humming underneath our flat
The starlings nesting in our roof
The godless evenings demanding proof
Every cry in every night
When I was wrong and you were right
Given half a chance to do it all again I would

Your narrow street
Tenement wall
Your sandstone heart
That doesn’t fool me at all
Your darkened close
Cracks in the stair
Your burned out light
This is the armour you wear
Oh let me show what I’ve found
The fury and the sound
Tear your defences down
Your measured love
This counted cost
Your fearing heart
Can still redeem what is lost
Oh let me show you what I’ve found
The fury and the sound
Tear your defences down
Oh letting go is not defeat
Give up on your retreat
The place where two worlds meet
Take a breath
Take my hand
A few small steps
Into this no man’s land
Oh shake the dust off from your feet
Give up on your retreat
The place where two worlds meet
Oh let me show you what I’ve found
The fury and the sound
Tear your defences down
