Rule Nor Reason Lyrics

Billy Bragg

The wind sways the trees and the raindrops on the leaves
Tumble down, down my neck in the breeze
Yes, it's true I hid out in the shadow of your doubt
And this medal that I wear is not for bravery, I'm afraid

And we're both gonna have to accept
That this might be as good as it gets
As our love for each other respects
Neither rule nor reason

The queen on her throne plays Shirley Bassey
Records when she's all on her own
And she looks out the window

And cries

What should I do?
Scratch off all of my tattoos?
And forget those girls names?
But you're not about to let me do that, are you?

And we're both gonna have to accept
That this might be as bad as it gets
As our love for each other respects
Neither rule nor reason

And we're both gonna have to accept
That this might be as big as it gets
And our love for each other respects
Neither rule nor reason, neither rule nor reason
