Karaoké I Love You Fontaines D.C.

I love you, I love you

I told you I do

It's all I've ever felt

I've never felt so well

And if you don't know it

I wrote you this tune to be here lovin' you when I'm in the tomb

I've eddied the heart now from Dublin to Paris and if there was sunshine it was never on me

So close the rain

So pronounced is the pain

Yeah

Well I love you

Imagine a world without you

It's only ever you

I only think of you

And if it's a blessin'

I want it for you

If I must have a future

I want it with you

System in our hearts

You only had it before

You only open the window

Never open up the door

And I love you, I love you

Told you I do

Sellin' genocide and half-cut pride

I understand

I had to be there from the start

I had to be the fuckin' man

It was a clamber of the life

I sucked the ring off every hand

Had 'em plyin' me with drink

Even met with their demands

When the cherries lined up

I kept the spoilings for myself 'till I had thirty ways of dyin' lookin' at me from the shelf

Cloud-partin' smile I had

A real good child I was

But this island's run by shark with children's bones stuck in their jaws

Now the morning's filled with cokeys tryna talk you through it all

Is their mammy Fine Gael and is their daddy Fianna Fáil

And they say they love the land but they don't feel it go to waste

Hold a mirror to the youth and they will only see their face

Makes flowers read like broadsheets

Every young man wants to die

Say it to the man who profits and the bastard walks by

And the bastard walks by

And the bastard walks by

Say it to him fifty times and still the bastard won't cry

Would I lie

I love you, I love you

I told you I do

It's all I've ever felt

I've never felt so well

And if you don't know it

I wrote you this tune to be here lovin' you when I'm in the tomb

System in our hearts

You only had it before

Echo, echo, echo

The lights they go

The lights they go

The lights, they go

Echo, echo

Sellin' genocide and half-cut pride

I understand

I had to be there from the start

I had to be the fuckin' man

It was a clamber of the life

I sucked the ring off every hand

Had 'em plyin' me with drink

Even met with their demands

And I loved you like a penny loves the pocket of a priest

And I'll love you 'till the grass around my gravestone is deceased

And I'm headin' for the cokeys

I will tell them 'bout it all

'Bout the gall of Fine Gael and the fail of Fianna Fáil

Now the flowers read like broadsheets

Every young man wants to die

Say it to the man who profits and the bastard walks by

And the bastard walks by

And the bastard walks by

Say it to him fifty times and still the bastard won't cry

Would I lie
