Blood lyrics - Hozier

Tryin' hard to recognise

Some pure motive inside of me

A creature that would horrify

Any child that I used to be

Oh, give no faith to show

Started to smile, so I showed my teeth

No more than flesh and bone

Doin' so much just to watch someone bleed

But I love the very blood of you

It keeps its heat in spite of you

Oh, the heart that beats

To keep you here with me always

Tryin' hard, I nearly find

Innocence in spite of me

Oh, creature that would terrify

Any child left inside of me

Oh, that's a cold insight

Nothin' above us and nothin' below

Ahh, but you might be right

If there is no heaven and there is no soul

I just love the very blood of you

It keeps its heat in spite of you

Oh, the heart that beats

To keep you here with me always

Always...

Oh, I love the very blood of you

It keeps its heat in spite of you

Oh, the heart that beats

To keep you here with me always

Oh, I love the very blood of you

Leaks and squeeks you black and blue

Oh, the heart that beats

To keep you here with me always

Blood Upon The Snow lyrics - Hozier & Bear McCreary

(from "God Of War: Ragnarok" soundtrack)

To all things housed in her silence

Nature offers a violence

The bear that keeps to his own line

The wolf that seeks always his own kind

The world that hardens as the harsher winter holds

The parent forced to eat its young before it grows

Every bird, gone unheard

Starving where the ground has froze

The winter sun rise, red on white

Like blood upon the snow

Like blood upon the snow

The ground walked here is a wonder

It ceases never to hunger

And all things nature's given

She takes all things back from the living

I've walked the earth and there are so few here that know

How dark the night

And just how cold the wind can blow

I've no more hunger now to see where the road will go

I've no more kept my warmth

Than blood upon the snow

Blood upon the snow

Blood upon the snow

Blood upon the snow

It's not my arms that will fail me

But this world takes more strength than it gave me

The trees deny themselves nothing that makes them grow

No rain fall, no sunshine

No blood upon the snow

Blood upon the snow

Blood upon the snow

Blood upon the snow

To all things housed in her silence

Nature offers a violence

Do I Wanna Know? lyrics - Hozier

(originally by Arctic Monkeys)

Have you got colour in your cheeks?

Do you ever get that fear that you can't shift

The type that sticks around like something in your teeth?

Are there some aces up your sleeve?

Have you no idea that you're in deep?

I dreamt about you nearly every night this week

How many secrets can you keep?

'Cause there's this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow and I play it on repeat

Until I fall asleep

Spilling drinks on my settee

(Do I wanna know)

If this feeling flows both ways?

(Sad to see you go)

Was sort of hoping that you'd stay

(Baby we both know)

That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day

Crawling back to you

Ever thought of calling when you've had a few?

'Cause I always do

Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new

Now I've thought it through

Crawling back to you

So have you got the guts?

Been wondering if your heart's still open and if so I wanna know what time it shuts

Simmer down and pucker up

I'm sorry to interrupt. It's just I'm constantly on the cusp of trying to kiss you

I don't know if you feel the same as I do

But we could be together if you wanted to

(Do I wanna know?)

If this feeling flows both ways?

(Sad to see you go)

Was sort of hoping that you'd stay

(Baby we both know)

That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day

Crawling back to you (crawling back to you)

Ever thought of calling when you've had a few? (you've had a few)

'Cause I always do ('cause I always do)

Maybe I'm too (maybe I'm too busy) busy being yours to fall for somebody new

Now I've thought it through

Crawling back to you

(Do I wanna know?)

If this feeling flows both ways?

(Sad to see you go)

Was sort of hoping that you'd stay

(Baby we both know)

That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day

(Do I wanna know?)

Too busy being yours to fall

(Sad to see you go)

Ever thought of calling darling?

(Do I wanna know?)

Do you want me crawling back to you?

I Could Be Yours lyrics - Hozier

I could be soft and sweet

I could be hard and loud

I could be anything

You ever need somehow

Why don't you hear me sing

Out from the lost and found

I could be yours

I could be yours

I could be yours

Why don't you try on me

Why don't you take me home

I'll match the color scheme

Of your bedroom walls

Oh, take a dose of me

It doesn't hurt at all

I could be yours

I could be yours

I could be yours

Oh God, I'd benefit

From your sweet tenderness

Thank God it could've been

'Cause nothing comes from it

That'd be a helpful thought

If I could remember it, but

I could be yours

I could be yours

I could be yours

Jackboot Jump (Live) lyrics - Hozier

At Standing Rock the Jackboot Jump

You'd swear was all the rage

Whether tearing up old treaties

Or just tearing up the place

It's always corporate infrastructure

Over the structure of your face

In Moscow the Jackboot show

Has so much in store

For any silly student

Who doesn't wanna learn the score

So the Moscow Jackboot Ballet

Finds some scared young dancing floor

In Hong Kong it won't be long

'Til they have to fall in line

For the long hand of Beijing

Stretching south a thousand miles

Where they rock the Jackboot Jump there

Like that shit's going out of style

All around the world

You'd think that things were looking rough

But the jackboot only jumps down

On people standing up

So you know good things are happening

When the jackboot needs to jump

Lay Me Down lyrics - Hozier

(originally by Sam Smith)

Yes, I do, I believe

That one day I will be

Where I was right there

Right next to you

And it's hard

These days just seem so dark

The moon and the stars

Are nothing without you

Your touch, your skin

Where do I begin?

No words can explain

The way I'm missing you

Deny this emptiness

This hole that I'm inside

These tears

They tell their own story

Told me not to cry when you were gone

Enough with this feeling, it's much too strong

Can I lay by your side?

Next to you

Next to you

And make sure you're alright

I'll take care of you

I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight

I'm reaching out to you

Can you hear my call?

This hurt that I've been through

I'm missing you like crazy, like crazy, like crazy

You told me not to cry when you were gone

Enough with this feeling, it's much too strong

Can I lay by your side?

Next to you

Next to you

And make sure you're alright

I'll take care of you

I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight...

Lay me down tonight

Lay me down tonight

Lay me down tonight

Lay me down tonight

Can I lay by your side?

Next to you

Next to you

And make sure you're alright

I'll take care of you

I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight

Can I lay by your side?

Next to you

Next to you

And make sure you're alright

I'll take care of you

I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight

Problem lyrics - Hozier

(originally by Ariana Grande)

Hey baby even though I hate ya!

I wanna love ya

I want you!

And even though I can't forgive you

I really want ta

I want you!

Tell me, tell me baby

Why can't you leave me?

Cause even though I shouldn't want it

I gotta have it

I want you!

Head in the clouds

Got no weight on my shoulders

I should be wiser

And realize that I've got

One less problem without ya

I got one less problem without ya

I got one less problem without ya

I got one less, one less problem

One less problem without ya

I got one less problem without ya

I got one less problem without ya

I got one less, one less problem

I know you're never gonna wake up

I gotta give up

But it's you!

I know I shouldn't ever call back

Or let you come back

But it's you!

Every time you touch me

And say you love me

I get a little bit breathless

I shouldn't want it

But it's you!

Head in the clouds

Got no weight on my shoulders

I should be wiser

And realize that I've got

Ooo

Ooo

Ooo

Ooo

One less problem without ya

I got one less problem without ya

I got one less problem without ya

I got one less, one less problem

One less problem without ya

I got one less problem without ya

I got one less problem without ya

I got one less, one less problem

If you know like I know

you don't wanna step to this

It's the G-Funk era

funked out with a gangsta twist

if you smoke like I smoke

then you high like everyday

and if your ass is a buster

213 will regulate

One less problem without ya

I got one less problem without ya

I got one less problem without ya

I got one less, one less problem

One less problem without ya

I got one less problem without ya

I got one less problem without ya

I got one less, one less problem

Say My Name lyrics - Hozier

(originally by Destiny's Child)

Any other day, I would call, you would say

"Baby, how's your day?"

But today, it ain't the same

Every other word is "uh-huh". "yeah ok"

Could it be that you are at the crib with another lady?

If you took it there, first of all, let me say

That I am not the one to sit around, and be played

So prove yourself to me, I'm the girl that you claim

Why don't you say the things that you said to me yesterday?

And I know you say that I am assuming things

(Something's going down that's the way it seems)

Shouldn't be the reason that you're acting strange

(Nobody's holding you back from me)

I know how you usually do

(Saying everything to me times two)

Why don't you just tell the truth?

(Somebody's there then tell me who)

Say my name, say my name

If no one is around you

Say baby I love you

If you ain't runnin' game

Say my name, say my name

You actin' kinda shady

You ain't callin' me baby

Why the sudden change?

Say my name, say my name

If no one is around you

Say baby I love you

If you ain't runnin' game

Say my name, say my name

You actin' kinda shady

Ain't callin' me baby

Why the sudden change?

What is up with this?

Tell the truth, who you with?

How would you like it if I came over with my clique?

Don't try to change it now, saying you gotta bounce

When two seconds ago, you said you just got in the house

And I know you say that I am assuming things

(Something's going down that's the way it seems)

Shouldn't be the reason that you're acting strange

(Nobody's holding you back from me)

I know how you usually do

(Saying everything to me times two)

Why don't you just tell the truth?

(Somebody's there then tell me who)

Say my name, say my name

When no one is around you

Say baby I love you

If you ain't runnin' game

Say my name, say my name

You actin' kinda shady

You ain't callin' me baby

Why the sudden change?

Say my name, say my name

If no one is around you

Say baby I love you

If you ain't runnin' game

Say my name, say my name

You actin' kinda shady

Ain't callin' me baby

Why the sudden change?

Say my name

Say my name

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Say my name

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Say my name

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

When no one is around you

Say baby I love you

(Say my name)

Say my name, say my name

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

You actin' kinda shady

You ain't callin' me baby

(Say my name)

Why the sudden change?

Say my name, say my name

No one is around you

Say baby I love you

(Say my name)

If you ain't runnin' game

Say my name, say my name

You actin' kinda shady

You ain't callin' me baby

(Say my name)

Why the sudden change?

No one is around you

Say baby I love you

(Say my name)

Say my name, say my name

You actin' kinda shady

You ain't callin' me baby

(Say my name)

Why the sudden change?

Say my name, say my name

No one is around you

Say baby I love you

(Say my name)

If you ain't runnin' game

Say my name, say my name

You actin' kinda shady

You ain't callin' me baby

(Say my name)

Sorry Not Sorry lyrics - Hozier

(originally by Demi Lovato)

I'm out here lookin' like revenge

Feelin' like a ten, the best I've ever been

And, yeah, I know how bad it must hurt to see me like this

But it gets worse

Now, you're out here lookin' like regret, ain't too proud to beg

Second chance, you'll never get

And, yeah, I know how bad it must hurt to see me like this

But it gets worse

(Payback is a bad)

(And baby, I'm the baddest)

(You with a savage)

Can't have this, can't have this, ah

And it'd be nice of me to take it easy on ya

Nah

Baby, I'm sorry (Not sorry)

Baby, I'm sorry (Not sorry)

Bein' so bad got me feelin' so good

Showin' you up like I knew that I would

Baby, I'm sorry (Not sorry)

Baby, I'm sorry (Not sorry)

Feelin' inspired 'cause the tables have turned

Yeah, I'm on fire and I know that this burns

Baby, fineness is the way to kill

Tell me how it feels, bet it's such a bitter pill

And yeah I know, you thought you had bigger, better things

Bet right now this stings

'Cause the grass is greener under me

Bright as Technicolor, I can tell that you can see

And yeah, I know how bad it must hurt to see me like this

But it gets worse

('Cause payback is a bad)

(And baby, I'm the baddest)

(You with a savage)

Can't have this, can't have this, ah

It'd be nice of me to take it easy on ya

But nah

Baby, I'm sorry (Not sorry)

Baby, I'm sorry (Not sorry) (Baby, baby)

Bein' so bad got me feelin' so good

(Feel your love, [?])

Showin' you up like I knew that I would

Baby, I'm sorry (Not sorry)

Baby, I'm sorry (Not sorry) (Baby, baby)

Feelin' inspired 'cause the tables have turned

(Feel your love, [?])

Yeah, I'm on fire and I know that this burns

(Hey girl)

Baby, fineness is the way to kill

(Ain't no mystery)

It's such a bitter pill

(Then leave)

I have bigger, better

(As far as I can see)

Ah, this stings

(I wanna keep you here)

Grass is greener under me

(Laying next to me)

I can tell that you can see

(Sharing our love)

It hurts to see me like this

(Between the sheets)

It gets worse (Oh, oh, oh)

Payback is a bad

Baby, I'm the baddest

With a savage

Can't have this, can't have this, ah (Ah, ah, baby)

It'd be nice of me to take it easy on ya

Nah

Baby, I'm sorry (Not sorry)

Baby, I'm sorry (Not sorry) (Baby, baby)

Ah, ah, feel your love surrounding me

Oh, oh, oh (Not sorry)

Baby, baby (Not sorry, not sorry)

Feel your love between the sheets

Oh, oh, oh (Not sorry)

Baby, baby (Not sorry)

Feel your love surrounding me

Oh, oh, oh (Not sorry)

Baby, baby (Not sorry, not sorry)

Feel your love between the sheets

Swan Upon Leda lyrics - Hozier

A husband waits outside

A crying child pushes a child into the night

She was told he would come this time

Without leaving so much as a feather behind

To enact at last the perfect plan

One more sweet boy to be butchered by men

But the gateway to the world

Was still outside the reach of him

Would never belong to angels

Had never belonged to men

The swan upon Leda

Empire upon Jerusalem

A grandmother smuggling meds

Past where the god child-soldier Setanta stood dead

Our graceful turner of heads

Weaves through the checkpoints like a needle and thread

Someone's frightened boy waves her on

She offers a mother's smile and soon she's gone

The gateway to the world

The gun in a trembling hand

Where nature unmakes the boundary

The pillar of myth still stands

The swan upon Leda

Occupier upon ancient land

The gateway to the world

Was still outside the reach of him

Would never belong to angels

Had never belonged to men

Sweet Thing lyrics - Hozier

(originally by Van Morrison)

I will stroll the merry way and jump the hedges first

I will drink clear clean water for to quench my thirst

I'll go watch the ferry-boats and I'll get high

On the bluer ocean against the waters sky

I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain

I will never ever ever grow so old again

Oooh good God you're a sweet thing

Oooh good God you're a sweet thing

I shall drive my chariot down - your streets and cry

Hey it's me tonight I'm dynamite and I don't know why

You shall take me strongly in your arms again

And I still wonder if I ever felt the pain

We shall walk and talk in gardens all misty wet with rain

And I shall never, ever, ever grow so cold again

Oooh good God you're a sweet thing

Oooh good God you're a sweet thing

I shall raise my hand up into the night, to the night sky

And count the stars that are shining in your eye

Just to dig it all and not to wonder that would be fine

You're satisfied not to read in between the lines

Oooh good God you're a sweet thing

Oooh good God you're a sweet thing

Oooh my my my my my sweet thing

Oooh good God.

The Parting Glass lyrics - Hozier

(Live from the Late Late Show)

Of all the money that e'er I had

I've spent it in good company

And of all the harm that e'er I've done

Alas it was to none but me

For all I've done for want of wit

To memory now I can't recall

So fill to me the parting glass

Good night and joy be with you all

Of all the comrades that e'er I had

They are sorry for my going away

And of all the sweethearts that e'er I had

They'd wish me one more day to stay

But as it falls unto my lot

That I must go and you must not

I'll gently rise and I'll softly call

Good night and joy be with you all

The Wages lyrics - Hozier

Although many contend

You may find hope ascend

To mark just how everything changes

Whether the temperature highs

Or the sea level rising

It's all going up but the wages

And murdered reporters

And talk of hard borders

Sky-bound as a heavenly choir

Or the stock price in Boeing

The screams of the dying

Or the skies over Yemen last night

It's all going up but the wages

And maybe it's time

It's all going up but the wages

And maybe it's time

Don't mention the rent

Or the money that's spent

Keeping the banks in good health

Or ridiculous claims

Or the level of blame

Pointed to anything else

And preachy musicians

And those stuck in prison

With scarcely enough for a blunt

Or the pressure of blood

That new hotel in the hood

With an oligarch's name on the front

It's all going up but the wages

And maybe it's time

It's all going up but the wages

And maybe it's time

It's all going up with the bump in the heating bills

Even though the city's on fire

It's all going up but the wages

And maybe it's time

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher

It's all going up but the wages

And maybe it's time

It's all going up but the wages

And maybe it's time

It's all going up with the bump in the heating bills

Even though the city's on fire

It's all going up but the wages

And maybe it's time

Through Me (The Flood) lyrics - Hozier

Picture a man

Seen like a speck out from the shore

Swimming out beyond the breakers like he's done his life before

He feels the coming of a squall will drag him out a greater length

But knows his strength

And tries to gather it

And he swims on

Turning back to shore again

Above the outer atmosphere of a world he's never seen

And looking down to his new home, he feels the rising of a wave

And knows at once he will not weather it

Like that man

I looked down into the depths when I met you

I couldn't measure it

Any time I've struggled on

Against the course

Out on my own

Every time I'd burn through the world, I'd see

That the world, it burns through me

But when I'd let go

My struggling form

My willing soul

Every time I'd flow through the world, I'd see

That the world, it flows through me

That the world, it flows through me

Picture a grave

Picture six feet freshly dug

The sharp temporary walls at the long-term cliff edge of the world

Light and air find some new deepness there and usher down the sky

Where one stands by and tries make sense of it

But try measure loss

Measure the silence of a house

The unheard footsteps at the doorway

The unemployment of the mouth

The waking up, having forgotten

And remembering again the full extent of what forever is

With each grave

I think of loss

And I can only think of you

And I couldn't measure it

Any time I've struggled on

Against the course

Out on my own

Every time I'd burn through the world, I'd see

That the world, it burns through me

But when I'd let go

My struggling form

My willing soul

Every time I'd flow through the world, I'd see

That the world, it flows through me

That the world, it flows through me

Whole Lotta Love lyrics - Hozier

Better Love lyrics - Hozier Lyrics

[from "The Legend Of Tarzan" soundtrack]

I once kneeled in shaking thrill
I chase the memory of it still, of every chill
Chided by that silence of a hush sublime
Blind to the purpose of the brute divine
But you were mine
Staring in the blackness at some distant star
The thrill of knowing how alone we are, unknown we are
To the wild and to the both of us
I confessed the longing I was dreaming of

Some better love, but there's no better love
Beckons above me and there's no better love
That ever has loved me, there's no better love
Darling, feel better love
Feel better love

And I've never loved a darker blue
Than the darkness I have known in you, own from you
You, whose heart would sing of anarchy
You would laugh at meanings, guarantees, so beautifully
When our truth is burned from history
By those who figured justice in fond memory, witness me
Like fire weeping from a cedar tree
Know that my love would burn with me
We'll live eternally

Cause there's no better love
That beckons above me, there's no better love
That ever has loved me, there's no better love
So darling, feel better love
Cause there's no better love
That's laid beside me, there's no better love
That justifies me, there's no better love
So darling, darling, feel better love
Feel better love

Feel better love
Feel better love
Feel better love

Cause there's no better love
That beckons above me, there's no better love
That ever has loved me, there's no better love
So darling, feel better love
Cause there's no better love
That's laid beside me, there's no better love
That justifies me, there's no better love
So darling, darling, feel better love
Feel better love
