Anything Left Lyrics
Friday night is fight night in the city
seven mothers grab your shining boxing gloves
you will need 'em, to defeat 'em
who will take the gold picking and the betting (?)
bright lights and fist fights bring the attendance up
it's so trendy on the marquee
and I will wai-ai-ait if there's anything left to tell me (don't tell me)
well I'm sorry darling you have crossed the line
and I will wai-ai-ait if there's anything left of me
I'll show you all the doctor's my eyes can't deny
I will throw the fight I swear to Jesus
clearly head inside the main offense tonight
she believed him, cause he's bleeding
tongue-tied in the ninth round of contention
our fair lady wins a no contesting bout
with a hand gun, to a loved one
and I will wai-ai-ait
if there's anything left just tell me (don't tell me)
that everything is gonna be just fine
and I will wai-ai-ait
if there's anything left of me
I'll give you anything you need of me to make this right
and I will wai-ai-ait if there's anything left don't tell me
that everything is going to be all right, no
and i will wai-ai-ait
if there's anything left behind don't tell me
cause this time everything will not be fine
seven mothers grab your shining boxing gloves
you will need 'em, to defeat 'em
who will take the gold picking and the betting (?)
bright lights and fist fights bring the attendance up
it's so trendy on the marquee
well I'm sorry darling you have crossed the line
and I will wai-ai-ait if there's anything left of me
I'll show you all the doctor's my eyes can't deny
clearly head inside the main offense tonight
she believed him, cause he's bleeding
tongue-tied in the ninth round of contention
our fair lady wins a no contesting bout
with a hand gun, to a loved one
if there's anything left just tell me (don't tell me)
that everything is gonna be just fine
and I will wai-ai-ait
if there's anything left of me
I'll give you anything you need of me to make this right
that everything is going to be all right, no
and i will wai-ai-ait
if there's anything left behind don't tell me
cause this time everything will not be fine

to fill in some of the question marks: I will throw the fight I swear to Jesus "Clearly head inside the main offense tonight"
in the fourth verse: "That everything is gonna be just fine"
Besides the question marks, which are fine since it's hard to figure out words, could you edit all the mistakes and capitilization? It's distracting. Thanks for posting though =]
i fixed the mistakes. i want to know what he's saying!

its 'grab your shiny boxing gloves' ...aside from that, i like top think of him referencing a friday night out with someone, a girfriend/boyfriend or husband/wife...as a fight. all the ups and downs of a night with someone...good conversation/forced conversation....good silence/bad silence. all that shit, it just parallels to a multi-bout fight very well
I think that these are the correct lyrics:
Friday night is fight night in the city Southern mothers, grab your shining boxing gloves You will need 'em To defeat 'em Who will take the gold picking and betting? Bright lights and a fist fight bring attendance up It's so trendy on the marquee
