I’ve been kicked right down I’ve been spat in the face I’ve been pulled way down To the lowest place
I’ve been lied to, shamed I have been disgraced Been ex-communicated From every holy place
I’ve been beat up and robbed I’ve been left for dead For the way I look For the things I said
And when trouble thinks it’s found us The world falls down around us I promise, baby, you won’t ever— You won’t ever feel a thing
‘Cause I will take it on the chin, Eh, for you So lay your cuts and bruises over my skin I promise you won’t feel a thing, no ‘Cause everything the world could throw I’ll stand in front. I’ll take the blow For you, For you.
I’ve been put on the street I’ve been left in the cold Had my dreams held up Had them shot full of holes
I’ve been laughed at, hurt, Been the butt of the joke I’ve been lit up in flames I have gone down in smoke
I’ve been stabbed in the back While they promised the earth Tried to keep my head high For all I’m worth
Outside I’m double glazing I know a war is raging I promise, baby, you won’t ever— You won’t ever feel a thing
‘Cause I will take it on the chin, Eh, for you So lay your cuts and bruises over my skin I promise you won’t feel a thing, no ‘Cause everything the world could throw I’ll stand in front. I’ll take the blow For you. For you.
And if I fall here At least you know, my dear, that I would die for you Promise you won’t ever feel a thing
And if I fall here At least you know, my dear, that I would die for you Promise you won’t ever feel a thing
‘Cause I will take it on the chin, Eh, for you So lay your cuts and bruises over my skin I promise you won’t feel a thing, no ‘Cause everything the world could throw I’ll stand in front. I’ll take the blow For you, For you.
Yeah everything the world could throw I’ll take the sticks, I’ll take the stones For you For you
