Letra I Fought The Angels de Delgados original

I fought the angels here today
Hope my defeat will end this play
I only have myself to blame
Everybody knows that
Softly softly wins the game

Trust
I'll try to learn again
My words are seldom for a friend

Knew all the time that they came out
Wish I could have them disallowed
Everybody knows that
We say things we do not mean
Everybody jnows that
We say things that are unclean

Trust
I'll try to learn again
My words are seldom for a friend

Run conversations in my head
Write my own scripts to dish the dread
And if I speak out loud
I will have to change the rules
For speaking out of bounds
If it's practised by a fool

Trust
I'll try to learn again
My words are seldom for a friend
So lend me an ear to lean upon
To speak to and learn my speaking from
