A'Rebours Songtext
von Babyshambles

À rebours, à rebours

You sent for me
I was knock knock knocking on death′s door
You ignore, adore, à rebours me
You leave me washed up, begging for more

If you really cared for me
Ah, you'd let me be
You′d set me free
But what you robbed me of is my
Oh, for me, my liberty

The curtain was calling
You were there and à rebours
In the mirror, bawling
If you want it so much you are gonna have it all

Ah, if you really cared for me
Christ knows you'd let me be
You'd set me free
I′m too polite to say it


I defy you all
You know twice as much as nothing at all
It′s still nothing at all
I can defy us all
Tides are now turned and hammered it all
Hammered it all
I know, I know, I know

I've been running round this world too much, girl
Pretending not to see
What′s drilling me is killing me

Oh no, I think I understand
What I misunderstood before
How your love gives me so much more
I'm free again, I can see again

But if I should fall
Would you vow today to pay tomorrow
The fucked off big debt I owe to sorrow?
Ah, oh, sorrow, sorrow
Ah, oh, ah, oh, sorrow

I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
