Laura Marling Lyrics
"Man Speaks About Romance"

Get up and play the fool,
The audience won't bring you down.
That's right, you do what you do.
While no one else is around.

These people, are my people, watch how we roll
don't mess 'em up, they're young, life's only just begun
And for the record we were messed up, on our own
He takes the fakes and puts them in their place
And he swiftly moves along,
And he's known around
He's passed his break of social season hearts
Yeah I've spoke and yeah we get along

God, I can fall for a man who can sing about love and
depression among other things
And a man he sings about romance
To Women he hardly knows
what good does it bring, this is the life he chose,

I don't get happy people, why do they care?
They can't be happy all the time, they're really just not there
And they're all loved up on some drug and I
hope that it's not love because
I like 'em roughed up and not really there.
I like them roughed up, a little fucked up, if it can be arranged,
As high as a kite and is willing to fight as a man of his age.

God, I can fall for a man who can sing about love and
depression among other things
And a man he signs about romance
To women he hardly knows
What good does it bring, this is the life that he chose,

A man sings about romance
Woman he hardly knows,
What good can it bring, this is the life that he chose ,

I like 'em roughed up, a little fucked up, if it can be arranged,
As high as a kite and is willing to fight as a man of his age
