Speak for Me Lyrics
Pick us up we’re all by ourselves
The great big howling is about to begin
A thousand miles from where it all begins
Old world, the whole world is
Going on and on (forfeit the shape to fit)
the backhand to a touch is moving on again
Going on and on
What’s next?
I’m out of time
Losing my touch I can't feel
Speak for me; do you see the same signs?
Do you know how to read between the lines?
All in all, it's all or none, all for one.
What you want?
Pick us out of a line up
Stranded and strange just as innocent as kids
The found are leaving and they're trying to forget.
The old world, the whole world is
Going on and on (forfeit the shape to fit)
a backhand to the touch is moving on again
Going on and on
What’s next?
I’m out of time.
Losing my touch I can't feel
Speak for me; do you see the same signs?
Do you know how to read between the lines?
All in all, it's all or none, all for one.
What you want?
Going on and on
The great big howling is about to begin
A thousand miles from where it all begins
the backhand to a touch is moving on again
Going on and on
I’m out of time
Losing my touch I can't feel
Speak for me; do you see the same signs?
Do you know how to read between the lines?
All in all, it's all or none, all for one.
What you want?
Stranded and strange just as innocent as kids
The found are leaving and they're trying to forget.
The old world, the whole world is
a backhand to the touch is moving on again
Going on and on
I’m out of time.
Losing my touch I can't feel
Speak for me; do you see the same signs?
Do you know how to read between the lines?
All in all, it's all or none, all for one.

This is one of my favorite Chan Marshall songs.
Weird stuff: it makes me think of Ellis Island selection process for immigrants...
i'm not too sure what it's about, but i love it so much
I believe it's a feminist song. It's like: oh, you're a man, so you can speak for me? Can you read between the lines like i can't? Like she's ironizing some speech.
Intense and powerful lyrics and yes the correct lyrics are those that "blanksky" has posted. This songs speaks from the perspective of a spouse thats being abused by her partner. The song itself seems to me as a testimonial from the abused, dissillusioned and passionate, with the difficulties of letting go and realizing whats actually happening while being blinded by how it used to be and the love that was once there.
Very great song.
