Quiver a Little Songtext
von Benjamin Clementine

Talk to me friend, talk to me, talk to me
I am listening to your advice
Slowly, slowly, please, slowly
We have a lot of time

Sometimes I would wish, would wish
That you were I
To see clearly, not just
Visualize

Many people said
Oh I′m lost, I'm a bastard
Oh I′m lost
Those same people pray
For the best, for their own brothers
So why would I quiver but quiver a little
Then burst in laughter

Quiver a little


Read all the books and you will find
Nothing new has been hidden underneath the sun
Integrity is sometimes hard to climb
But if I look up, not down, and maybe who knows
I might go a bit further up there, further up there

Many people will say
Oh you're lost
You are a bastard, you're lost
And those same people pray
For the best, for their own sisters
And so I will only just quiver a little
Then burst in laughter

Oh, life is as cold not literally as in Greenland
Where snowfall is the norm
As opposed to the ray of sunlight
But, like a boy who woke up one night
To see his poor mother on the floor
And he screamed "Mother, mother wake up
Wake up, mother!"

So why would you waste a lot of your energy
On what, what people might say
Just quiver a little
Then burst in laughter
Just quiver a little


Quiver a little
Quiver a little
Then burst into laughter
Quiver a little
Then burst into laughter
Quiver a little
And get back to your stride
