Damon Albarn
Father’s Daughter’s Son
[Verse 1]
If there's only one day left, given at dawn
Someone's gonna sing of the pages torn
Out of the book, tied in a knot, all forgiven
Strong tide's here, how about you?
On the other side, breaking through
There are more of us here than there ever were here before
[Chorus]
I was caught in the sights of Venus at night
She came and put her claws in me
Carried me away through mirrored rooms
On the way to the violet seas
Lord, you better stand up, don't let yourself down
It's over and the deed is done
Down in the house by Gallow's Green
For a father's daughter's son
[Verse 2]
Learning to live with a broken guard
Put it in my heart and let it sing, "Lord"
There are more of us here than there ever were here before
And you may not like it, you may disagree
But tides still pull you into the sea
There are more of us here than there ever were here before
[Chorus]
I was caught in the sights of Venus at night
She came and put her claws in me
Carried me away through mirrored rooms
On the way to the violet sea
Well, Lord, there are so many of us trying to let go
It's over and the deed is done
Down in the house by Gallow's Green
For a father's daughter's son
