Here Lies Love (Feat. Florence Welch Of Florence & The Machine)

David Byrne, Fatboy Slim
Album : Here Lies Love

When I was a young girl in Leyte
My dresses were all handmedowns
and scraps
I’d see the people smile
when I would sing for them
How happy they all seemed
when I would dance
We lived a stone’s throw
from the palace
A simple country girl
who had a dream
The ladies passing
by a better class than I
How much it meant to me
to be like these
Is it a sin to love too much
Is it a sin to care
I do it all for you
How can it be unfair
I know that when my number’s up
When I am called by God above
Don’t have my name inscribed
into the stone
Just say Here lies love here lies love
here lies love
Just say Here lies love here lies love
here lies love
The most important things are love
and beauty
It doesn’t matter
if you’re rich or poor
To prosper and to fly
a basic human right
The feeling in your heart
that you’re secure
Is it a sin to love too much
Is it a sin to care
I do it all for you
How can it be unfair
I know that when my number’s up
When I am called by God above
Don’t have my name inscribed
into the stone
Just say Here lies love here lies love
here lies love
Just say Here lies love here lies love
here lies love
I know that when my number’s up
When I am called by God above
Don’t have my name inscribed
into the stone
Just say Here lies love here lies love
here lies love
Just say Here lies love here lies love
here lies love
