Rocks and Daggers Lyrics
The rocks
they will always hold in the sea
and erosion can't stop their being
oh no currents can defeat them
and I am thankful for the love
these rocks have always given
And although
this boat is steady now
one wave could pull me under
and I'll be stranded out at sea
and I will pray that those rocks
will be there for me
and the sun always shines down on your shoes
could be a blue blue christmas for you
'cos when the sun always shines down on your shoes
could be a blue blue christmas for you
I love the way that your hair is always neat
and your skirts fall below your knees
and your love is so pure and so clean
Oh, it comforts me (x4)
I love the way that you're always surprised
oh, to find truth in all my lies
'cos you trust me and ignore my disguise
Oh, it comforts me (x4)
But there's no need to play with my heart (x15)
they will always hold in the sea
and erosion can't stop their being
oh no currents can defeat them
and I am thankful for the love
these rocks have always given
this boat is steady now
one wave could pull me under
and I'll be stranded out at sea
and I will pray that those rocks
will be there for me
could be a blue blue christmas for you
'cos when the sun always shines down on your shoes
could be a blue blue christmas for you
and your skirts fall below your knees
and your love is so pure and so clean
oh, to find truth in all my lies
'cos you trust me and ignore my disguise

"theres no need to play with my heart" is my fave part. :)
I found out about Noah and the Whale through the Take Away Show while looking at Beirut's version of Nantes. It's a good place place for live version of the artists.
no one has commented this...o: i love this song ! he is just so in love with this amazing person, i think the first verse is a metaphor for how she loves him, how she's always there for him yet it is an unstable relationship and he hopes that if it all goes bad then she'll still be there? the last line is my favourite [but there's no need to play with my heart] , you know i love you, you know i do so please don't mess me about, there's no need.
Amaaazingly wonderful :)
And the TakeAway version of this is stunning :) Infact the whole thing is lovely I do recommend

I love this song, especially the "Oh, it comforts me" Laura's vocals work so well on songs like this.

mybloodbeatsdark- that bit's Emmy, not Laura, surely?
Yeah, sounds more like Emmy than Laura, to me. This is perhaps my favourite song on the album.
i feel like its more about friends in the beginning.. maybe it just fits my situation at the moment but thats the impression i get.. friends are there even when your relationships fail.. either way its an amazing song from an amazing band. love them
I absolutely love this song! I'm almost positive that it's Laura singing
