lyrics

You picked me up from a wreckage, cleaned my face and washed me down
You weren’t ashamed of my condition, you said everybody sometimes needs a hand

Taught me to love, taught me to laugh
Told me I would always be enough, and now I know
That I’m not here to be anyone but me

You gave me hope there’d be a future, that something good would come around
I’d have to work, nothing is free now, but labour is what lifts me off the ground

Taught me to wait, taught me to stay
Showed me mercy, and told me
That I’m not here to be anyone but me

You gave me life, I’ll always be grateful, you breathed a little fire into my soul
I’ll keep it warm, you know this is sacred, something that cannot be bought or sold

Taught me to love, taught me to laugh
Told me I would always be enough, and now I know
That I’m not here to be anyone but me

This is my first purchase from this label and it's an intriguing one, kind of the aural equivalent of a low budget but really good 70s horror movie. Weird, spooky and grimy with lots of fuzzy riffs and Sabbathesque guitar leads. Matt A
