Rule Nor Reason Lyrics by Billy Bragg
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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
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
