Take Me To Church lyrics - Hozier

My lover's got humour

She's the giggle at a funeral

Knows everybody's disapproval

I should've worshipped her sooner

If the heavens ever did speak

She's the last true mouthpiece

Every Sunday's getting more bleak

A fresh poison each week

"We were born sick," you heard them say it

My church offers no absolutes

She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom"

The only heaven I'll be sent to

Is when I'm alone with you

I was born sick

But I love it

Command me to be well

Aaay. Amen. Amen. Amen

Take me to church

I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife

Offer me that deathless death

Good God, let me give you my life

Take me to church

I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife

Offer me that deathless death

Good God, let me give you my life

If I'm a pagan of the good times

My lover's the sunlight

To keep the Goddess on my side

She demands a sacrifice

Drain the whole sea

Get something shiny

Something meaty for the main course

That's a fine-looking high horse

What you got in the stable?

We've a lot of starving faithful

That looks tasty

That looks plenty

This is hungry work

Take me to church

I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife

Offer me my deathless death

Good God, let me give you my life

Take me to church

I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife

Offer me my deathless death

Good God, let me give you my life

No Masters or Kings

When the Ritual begins

There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin

In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene

Only then I am human

Only then I am clean

Ooh oh. Amen. Amen. Amen

Take me to church

I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife

Offer me that deathless death

Good God, let me give you my life

Take me to church

I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife

Offer me that deathless death

Good God, let me give you my life

Angel Of Small Death & The Codeine Scene lyrics - Hozier

I watch the work of my kin bold and boyful

Toying somewhere between love and abuse

Calling to join them the wretched and joyful

Shaking the wings of their terrible youths

Freshly disowned in some frozen devotion

No more alone or myself could I be

Lurched like a stray to the arms that were open

No shortage of sordid, no protest from me

With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean

She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean

She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

Feeling more human and hooked on her flesh I

Lay my heart down with the rest at her feet

Fresh from the fields, all fetor and fertile

It's bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweet

With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean

She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean

She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

Leash-less confusion I wander the concrete

Wonder if better now having survived

Jarring of judgment and reasons defeat

The sweet heat of her breath in my mouth I'm alive

With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean

She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean

She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean

She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean

She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

Jackie And Wilson lyrics - Hozier

So tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes

No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight

So deep in this swill with the most familiar of swine

For reasons wretched and divine

She blows outta nowhere, roman candle of the wild

Laughing away through my feeble disguise

No other version of me I would rather be tonight

And, Lord, she found me just in time

'Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done

I need to be youthfully felt 'cause, God, I never felt young

She's gonna save me

Call me "baby"

Run her hands through my hair

She'll know me crazy

Soothe me daily

Better yet she wouldn't care

We'll steal her Lexus

Be detectives

Ride 'round picking up clues

We'll name our children

Jackie and Wilson

Raise 'em on rhythm and blues

Lord, it'd be great to find a place we could escape sometime

Me and my Isis growing black irises in the sunshine

Every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside

Sit back and watch the world go by

Happy to lie back watch it burn and rust

We tried the world, good God, it wasn't for us

She's gonna save me

Call me "baby"

Run her hands through my hair

She'll know me crazy

Soothe me daily

Better yet she wouldn't care

We'll steal her Lexus

Be detectives

Ride 'round picking up clues

We'll name our children

Jackie and Wilson

Raise 'em on rhythm and blues

Cut clean from the dream at night let my mind reset

Looking up from a cigarette, and she's already left

I start digging up the yard for what's left of me and our little vignette

For whatever poor soul is coming next

She's gonna save me

Call me "baby"

Run her hands through my hair

She'll know me crazy

Soothe me daily

Better yet she wouldn't care

We'll steal her Lexus

Be detectives

Ride 'round picking up clues

We'll name our children

Jackie and Wilson

Raise 'em on rhythm and blues

Someone New lyrics - Hozier

Don't take this the wrong way

You knew who I was with every step that I ran to you

Only blue or black days

Electing strange perfections in any stranger I choose

Would things be easier if there was a right way?

Honey, there is no right way

And so I fall in love just a little, oh a little bit every day with someone new

I fall in love just a little, oh a little bit every day with someone new

I fall in love just a little, oh a little bit every day with someone new

I fall in love just a little, oh a little bit every day with someone new

There's an art to life's distractions

To somehow escape the burning weight, the art of scraping through

Some like to imagine

The dark caress of someone else, I guess any thrill will do

Would things be easier if there was a right way?

Honey, there is no right way

And so I fall in love just a little, oh a little bit every day with someone new

I fall in love just a little, oh a little bit every day with someone new

I fall in love just a little, oh a little bit every day with someone new

I fall in love just a little, oh a little bit every day with someone new

I wake at the first cringe of morning

And my heart's already sinned

How pure, how sweet a love, Aretha, that you would pray for him

'Cause God knows I fall in love just a little, oh, a little bit every day with someone new

I fall in love just a little, oh a little bit every day with someone new

I fall in love just a little, oh a little bit every day with someone new

I fall in love just a little, oh a little bit every day with someone new

I fall in love just a little, oh a little bit every day with someone new

I fall in love just a little, oh a little bit every day

Love with every stranger, the stranger the better

Love with every stranger, the stranger the better

Love with every stranger, the stranger the better

Love with every stranger, the stranger the better

I fall in love just a little, oh a little bit every day with someone new

I fall in love just a little, oh a little bit every day with someone new

I fall in love just a little, oh a little bit every day with someone new

I fall in love just a little, oh a little bit every day with someone new

To Be Alone lyrics - Hozier

Never feel too good in crowds

With folks around, when they're playing

The anthems of rape culture loud

Crude and proud creatures baying

All I've ever done is hide

From our times when you're near me

Honey, when you kill the lights, and kiss my eyes

I feel like a person for a moment of my life

But you don't know what hell you put me through

To have someone kiss the skin that crawls from you

To feel your weight in arms I'd never use

It's the God that heroin prays to

It feels good, girl, it feels good

It feels good, girl, it feels good

It feels good, girl, it feels good

Oh to be alone with you

There are questions I can't ask

Now at last the worst is over

See the way you hold yourself

Reel against your body's borders

I know that you hate this place

Not a trace of me would argue

Honey, we should run away, oh someday

Our baby and her momma

And the damaged love she made

But I don't know what else that I would do

Than try to kiss the skin that crawls from you

Than feel your weight in arms I'd never use

It's the God that heroin prays to

It feels good, girl, it feels good

It feels good, girl, it feels good

It feels good, girl, it feels good

Oh to be alone with you

It feels good, girl, it feels good

It feels good, girl, it feels good

It feels good, girl, it feels good

Oh to be alone with you

From Eden lyrics - Hozier

Babe, there's something tragic about you

Something so magic about you

Don't you agree?

Babe, there's something lonesome about you

Something so wholesome about you

Get closer to me

No tired sighs, no rolling eyes, no irony

No 'who cares', no vacant stares, no time for me

Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago

Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword

Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know

I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door

Babe, there's something wretched about this

Something so precious about this

Where to begin

Babe, there's something broken about this

But I might be hoping about this.

Oh, what a sin

To the strand a picnic plan for you and me

A rope in hand for your other man to hang from a tree

Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago

Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword

Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know

I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door

Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago

Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword

Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know

I slithered here from Eden just to hide outside your door

In A Week lyrics - Hozier (feat. Karen Cowley)

I have never known peace like the damp grass that yields to me

I have never known hunger like these insects that feast on me

A thousand teeth and yours among them, I know

Our hunger's appeased, our heart beats becoming slow

We'll lay here for years or for hours

Thrown here or found, to freeze or to thaw

So long, we'd become the flowers

Two corpses we were, two corpses I saw

And they'd find us in a week

When the weather gets hot

After the insects have made their claim

I'd be home with you, I'd be home with you

I have never known sleep like this slumber that creeps to me

I have never known color like this morning reveals to me

And you haven't moved an inch such that I would not know

If you sleep always like this, the flesh calmly going cold

We'll lay here for years or for hours

Your hand in my hand, so still and discreet

So long, we'd become the flowers

We'd feed well the land and worry the sheep

And they'd find us in a week

When the cattle'd show fear

After the insects have made their claim

After the foxes have known our taste

I'd be home with you, I'd be home with you

And they'd find us in a week (We'll lay here for years or for hours)

When the weather gets hot (So long, we'd become the flowers)

And they'd find us in a week (We'll lay here for years or for hours)

When the cattle'd show fear (So long, we'd become the flowers)

And they'd find us in a week

When the buzzards get loud

After the insects have made their claim

After the foxes have known our taste

After the raven has had his say

I'd be home with you, I'd be home with you

I'd be home with you, I'd be home with you

I'd be home with you, I'd be home with you

Sedated lyrics - Hozier

Just a little rush, babe

To feel dizzy, to derail the mind of me

Just a little hush, babe

My veins are busy but my heart's in atrophy

Any way to distract and sedate

Adding shadows to the walls of the cave

You and I nursing on a poison that never stung

Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it

Somewhere for this, death and guns

We are deaf, we are numb

Free and young and we can feel none of it

Something isn't right, babe

I keep catching little words but the meaning's thin

I'm somewhere outside my life, babe

I keep scratching but somehow I can't get in

So we're slaves to any semblance of touch

Lord we should quit but we love it too much

Sedated we're nursing on a poison that never stung

Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it

Somewhere for this, death and guns

We are deaf, we are numb

Free and young and we can feel none of it

Darlin', don't you, stand there watching, won't you

Come and save me from it

Darlin', don't you, join in, you're supposed to

Drag me away from it

Any way to distract and sedate

Adding shadows to the walls of the cave

You and I nursing on a poison that never stung

Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it

Somewhere for this, death and guns

We are deaf, we are numb

Free and young and we can feel none of it

Sedated we're nursing on a poison that never stung

Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it

Somewhere for this, death and guns

We are deaf, we are numb

Free and young and we can feel none of it

Work Song lyrics - Hozier

Boys workin' on empty

Is that the kinda way to face the burning heat?

I just think about my baby

I'm so full of love I could barely eat

There's nothing sweeter than my baby

I'd never want once from the cherry tree

Cause my baby's sweet as can be

She'd give me toothaches just from kissin' me

When my time comes around

Lay me gently in the cold dark earth

No grave can hold my body down

I'll crawl home to her

Boys, when my baby found me

I was three days on a drunken sin

I woke with her walls around me

Nothin' in her room but an empty crib

And I was burnin' up a fever

I didn't care much how long I lived

But I swear I thought I dreamed her

She never asked me once about the wrong I did

When my time comes around

Lay me gently in the cold dark earth

No grave can hold my body down

I'll crawl home to her

When my time comes around

Lay me gently in the cold dark earth

No grave can hold my body down

I'll crawl home to her

My babe would never fret none

About what my hands and my body done

If the Lord don't forgive me

I'd still have my baby and my babe would have me

When I was kissin' on my baby

And she put her love down soft and sweet

In the low lamp light I was free

Heaven and hell were words to me

When my time comes around

Lay me gently in the cold dark earth

No grave can hold my body down

I'll crawl home to her

When my time comes around

Lay me gently in the cold dark earth

No grave can hold my body down

I'll crawl home to her

Like Real People Do lyrics - Hozier

I had a thought, dear

However scary

About that night

The bugs and the dirt

Why were you digging?

What did you bury

Before those hands pulled me

From the earth?

I will not ask you where you came from

I will not ask and neither should you

Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips

We should just kiss like real people do

I knew that look dear

Eyes always seeking

Was there in someone

That dug long ago

So I will not ask you

Why you were creeping

In some sad way I already know

So I will not ask you where you came from

I would not ask and neither would you

Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips

We should just kiss like real people do

I could not ask you where you came from

I could not ask and neither could you

Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips

We could just kiss like real people do

It Will Come Back lyrics - Hozier

You know better babe, you know better babe

Than to look at it, look at it like that

You know better babe, you know better babe

Than to talk to it, talk to it like that

Don't give it a hand, offer it a soul

Honey, make this easy

Leave it to the land, this is what it knows

Honey, that's how it sleeps

Don't let it in with no intention to keep it

Jesus Christ! Don't be kind to it

Honey don't feed it - it will come back

You know better babe, you know better babe

Than to smile at me, smile at me like that

You know better babe, you know better babe!

Than to hold me just, hold me just like that

I know who I am when I'm alone

I'm something else when I see you

You don't understand, you should never know

How easy you are to need

Don't let me in with no intention to keep me

Jesus Christ! Don't be kind to me

Honey don't feed me - I will come back

It can't be unlearned

I've known the warmth of your doorways

Through the cold, I'll find my way back to you

Oh please, give me mercy no more!

It's a kindness you can't afford!

I want you baby tonight, as sure as you're born

You'll hear me howling outside your door

Don't you hear me howling babe?

Won't you hear me howling babe?

Don't you hear me howling babe?

Once you hear me howling, once you hear me howling, once you hear me howling babe!

Foreigner's God lyrics - Hozier

She moved with shameless wonder

The perfect creature rarely seen

Since some liar brought the thunder

When the land was godless and free

Her eyes look sharp and steady

Into the empty parts of me

But still my heart is heavy

With the hate of some other man's beliefs

Always a well-dressed fraud

Who wouldn't spare the rod

Never for me

Screaming the name of a foreigner's god

Screaming the name of a foreigner's god

Screaming the name of a foreigner's god

The purest expression of grief

Wondering who I copy

Mustering some tender charm

She feels no control of her body

She feels no safety in my arms

I've no language left to say it

But all I do is quake to her

Breaking if I try convey it

The broken love I make to her

All that I've been taught

And every word I've got

Is foreign to me

Screaming the name of a foreigner's god

Screaming the name of a foreigner's god

Screaming the name of a foreigner's god

The purest expression of grief

Screaming the name of a foreigner's god

Screaming the name of a foreigner's god

Screaming the name of a foreigner's god

The purest expression of grief

Screaming the name of a foreigner's god

Screaming the name of a foreigner's god

Screaming the name of a foreigner's god

The purest expression of grief

Cherry Wine lyrics - Hozier

Her eyes and words are so icy

Oh but she burns

Like rum on a fire

Hot and fast and angry

As she can be

I walk my days on a wire

It looks ugly, but it's clean

Oh mamma, don't fuss over me

The way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine

Open hand or closed fist would be fine

The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine

Calls of guilty thrown at me

All while she stains

The sheets of some other

Thrown at me so powerfully

Just like she throws with the arm of her brother

But I want it, it's a crime

That she's not around most of the time

Way she shows me I'm hers and she is mine

Open hand or closed fist would be fine

The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine

Her fight and fury is fiery

Oh but she loves

Like sleep to the freezing

Sweet and right and merciful

I'm all but washed

In the tide of her breathing

And it's worth it, it's divine

I have this some of the time

Way she shows me I'm hers and she is mine

Open hand or closed fist would be fine

The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine

In The Woods Somewhere lyrics - Hozier

My head was warm

My skin was soaked

I called your name

'Til the fever broke

When I awoke

The moon still hung

The night so black

That the darkness hums

I raised myself

My legs were weak

I prayed my mind

Be good to me

An awful noise

Filled the air

I heard a scream

In the woods somewhere

A woman's voice

I quickly ran

Into the trees

With empty hands

A fox it was

He shook afraid

I spoke no word

No sound he made

His bone exposed

His hind was lame

I raised a stone

To end his pain

What caused the wound?

How large the teeth?

I saw new eyes

Were watching me

The creature lunged

I turned and ran

To save a life

I didn't have

Deer in the chase

There as I flew

Forgot all prayers

Of joining you

I clutched my life

And wished it kept

My dearest love

I'm not done yet

How many years

I know I'll bear

I found something

In the woods somewhere

Run lyrics - Hozier

Rare is this love, keep it covered

I need you to run to me, run to me, lover

Run until you feel your lungs bleeding

Oh but the farrow know

Her hungry eye, her ancient soul

It's carried by the sneering menagerie

Know what it is to grow

Beneath her sky, her punishing cold

To slowly learn of her ancient misery

To be twisted by something

A shame without a sin

Like how she twisted the bog man

After she married him

Rare is this love, keep it covered

I need you to run to me, run to me, lover

Run until you feel your lungs bleeding

But in all the world

There is one lover worthy of her

With as many souls claimed as she

But for all he's worth

He still shatters always on her earth

The cause of every tear she'd ever weep

Rushing ashore to meet her

Foaming with loneliness

White hands to fondle and beat her

Give her his onliness

Rare is this love, keep it covered

I need you to run to me, run to me, lover

Run 'til you feel your lungs bleeding

Rare is this love, keep it covered

I need you to run to me, run to me, lover

Run until you feel your lungs bleeding

Rare is this love, keep it covered

I need you to run to me, run to me, lover

Run until you feel your lungs bleeding

Rare is this love, keep it covered

I need you to run to me, run to me, lover

Run until you feel your lungs bleeding

Arsonist's Lullabye lyrics - Hozier

[Humming]

When I was a child, I heard voices...

Some would sing and some would scream

You soon find you have few choices...

I learned the voices died with me

When I was a child, I'd sit for hours

Staring into open flame

Something in it had a power,

Could barely tear my eyes away

All you have is your fire...

And the place you need to reach -

Don't you ever tame your demons

But always keep 'em on a leash

[Humming]

When I was 16, my senses fooled me

Thought gasoline was on my clothes

I knew that something would always rule me...

I knew the scent was mine alone

All you have is your fire

And the place you need to reach

Don't you ever tame your demons

But always keep 'em on a leash

When I was a man I thought it ended

When I knew love's perfect ache

But my peace has always depended

On all the ashes in my wake

All you have is your fire,

And the place you need to reach

Don't you ever tame your demons,

But always keep 'em on a leash...

My Love Will Never Die lyrics - Hozier

HozierYou've done

Me wrong

For a long

Long time

But after all

You've done

I never changed

My mind

Honey please

Try to love me

Honey please

Honey try

My love will never die

Flowers

Flowers grow

Where I'm laid

To rest

Honey pick

A blossom

And hold it

Hold it

To your breast

Honey you know

That's my love

Bursting loud

From inside

My love

Oh my love my love

Will never die

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)

Honey, 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
