The Beautiful South
Let Love Speak Up Itself
[Intro]
Um...

[Verse 1]
Don't whisper love and dream of wedding bells
Don't do all the talking, let love speak up itself
Mm, let love speak up itself...

[Verse 2]
So when you feel a little tatty and unhappy with your face
Let it breathe into us and put you back in place

Let it breathe, let it breathe
From the day it came into us, till the day it wants to leave
For it will, it will go
And it will not say goodbye just like it didn't say hello

[Pre-Chorus 1]
There will not be a send-off, no funeral or mass
Just a pathetic little vodka from a dirty little glass
To the world's greatest mum
From the oldest swinger in town

[Chorus]
Let love speak up itself
Let love speak up itself...
[Verse 3]
And let it rise up in the morning and take us for the walk
And let it do the talking when we're too tired to talk, ah
When we're too tired to talk

[Verse 4]
And when you feel unhappy that I'm not the one I was
Let love rot inside and let love palm you off

Let it rot, let it rot
Let it take your feelings and tie them in a knot
In a knot, in a knot
And let it take your feelings and tie them in a knot

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Hang them from a cleaver and say, 'Look what we've got;
A man and a woman and guess what they forgot'
To the world's greatest mum
From the oldest swinger in town

[Outro]
Let love speak up itself
Let love speak up itself
Let love speak up itself and let it, and let it
Let love speak up itself
Let love speak, let love rot, let love tear
Let love speak, let love rot, let love tear
Let love tear, let love tear up itself

When you feel a little down, and when you feel a little down
From the oldest swinger in town...

Just let love speak, just let love speak
Just let love speak up itself, just let love speak up itself
And the oldest, the oldest swinger in town...

Just let love speak up, just let love speak up itself
Let love, let love speak up itself...
