Until I Believe In My Soul
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'll need tonight to sit and think about this.
Think what to do.
I'll take some strength to banish hollow sorrow
Hollow sorrow's nothing new.
Just enough strength to last until tomorrow
Until I believe in my soul.
Tonight I lost sight of all purpose
Despite all this trickery you told me was right.
I was such a good boy I let you hold the door
So kind, so nice, where's my prize?
(That's all there ever is) oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
(That's all there ever was) yes, yes, yes
(The same for everyone) oh yeah, yeah, yeah
...
(That's all there ever is) oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
(That's all there ever was) ah, you must be fucking joking
(The same for everyone) oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Would you repeat that. Break it to me gently.
Stand over there
Oh, I know I was an arrogant boy, but I let you hold the door.
Oh, I was kind. I was nice, where's the ...?
And I'm on the train from new street
To euston. I'm going out to Harrow again
And I'm trying to get the feeling
That I had in nineteen seventy two.
Oh, but you're going too fast for me here.
I'm saying, wait a minute there, wait a minute there.
Hold it. Stop! Stop! Let me get this clear.
(I believe in my soul)
...
(That's all there ever is) oh yeah yeah yeah?
(That's all there ever was) yes, yes. Ha ha ha
(The same for everyone) oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
You see I know what this is, I know
What's going on here, this is just the difference between
It's the battle between the body and the soul. The spirit
And what's needed here
What I intend to do now is I'm going to punish my body
I'll punish the body to believe in the soul, I will punish
My body, until I believe in my soul.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
I believe it's there.
(That's all there ever is) oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
(That's all there ever was) ah, yes, yes, yes
(The same for everyone) oh yeah, yeah, yeah
(That's all there ever is)
(That's all there ever was)
(The same for everyone) yes, yes, yes
(That's all there ever is) oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
