The False Contender Lyrics
I once had a love, but soon had enough
He was a false contender
He got so thin, there must have been
Deep sorrow gnawing away at him
What will I do?
Will it always be you?
I hope and I pray he’ll leave me one day
We were so sweet under the Copper Beach
You left a mark, you sunk your teeth
Into the back of my neck
Oh, let’s not pretend I needed the lesson
That you taught me well
What will I do?
Will it always be you?
I hope and I pray he’ll leave me one day
What will I do?
Must it always be you?
I hope and I pray he’ll leave me one day
Leave me one day
Leave me one day
Leave me one day
He was a false contender
He got so thin, there must have been
Deep sorrow gnawing away at him
Will it always be you?
I hope and I pray he’ll leave me one day
You left a mark, you sunk your teeth
Into the back of my neck
Oh, let’s not pretend I needed the lesson
That you taught me well
Will it always be you?
I hope and I pray he’ll leave me one day
What will I do?
Must it always be you?
I hope and I pray he’ll leave me one day
Leave me one day
Leave me one day
Leave me one day

sometimes you end up with a sucky boyfriend who you dont have the heart to dump ..ithink
I just like that they're from Glasgow, Scotland. Their sound is sooo damn groooovy to me! It's both the dog's bollocks and freakin' spot on.
Camera Obscura makes me incredibly high :-)
Weeeeeeeeeeee Oh Man!
That bit about the love that won't leave her is a wee trite, I'd have to say. But I ain't agonna get my knickers in a bunch over it.
Hell! Am I even WEARING knickers today?
a love she once had has left, but not in her mind - she prays one day he will leave her so she can move on.
I loooove this song. In particular:
"You left a mark, you sunk your teeth Into the back of my neck Oh, let’s not pretend I needed the lesson That you taught me well"
Perfect.
She should be over this guy but is having difficulty letting go (even though he was most likely a jerk).
Also, I think it should be "under the copper beech" (a tree) not the sandy one (beach).
Am I the only one who senses a slight eating disorder connection here? I'm most likely mistaken, but this can be awfully accurate for describing that kind of battle.
