I know
You've fallen again
The way I fell before
'Cause I'm a bad loser
When you get your way
And I know that I'll change
I'm chained again
You've lost your way
There's nothing I want today
'Cause I'm a bad habit
One you cannot shake
And I hope that I change
Don't follow me
Don't follow me
So I wont
let the flowers grow
Into the deep below
Oh, would you forget me now?
Still small
Small voice of calm
It's the blame into my arms
'Cause I'm a bad habit
One you cannot shake
Oh, Mary, mercy!
Would you pray for me?
Would you pray for me?
So I wont
Let the flowers grow
Into the deep below
Oh, would you forget me now?
And if I could
Make the days of pain
Wash the stains away
Oh, would you forget me now?
Ah!
'Cause I made my mistakes
And I feel something's changed
And I know what's at stake
Wash the stains away
So I won't
Let the flowers grow
Into the deep below
Oh, would you forget me now?
And if I could
Take the pain away
Wash the stains away
Oh, would you forgive me now?
I made my mistakes
And I feel something's changed
Wash the stains away
And I feel quite okay
You've fallen again
The way I fell before
'Cause I'm a bad loser
When you get your way
And I know that I'll change
I'm chained again
You've lost your way
There's nothing I want today
'Cause I'm a bad habit
One you cannot shake
And I hope that I change
Don't follow me
Don't follow me
So I wont
let the flowers grow
Into the deep below
Oh, would you forget me now?
Still small
Small voice of calm
It's the blame into my arms
'Cause I'm a bad habit
One you cannot shake
Oh, Mary, mercy!
Would you pray for me?
Would you pray for me?
So I wont
Let the flowers grow
Into the deep below
Oh, would you forget me now?
And if I could
Make the days of pain
Wash the stains away
Oh, would you forget me now?
Ah!
'Cause I made my mistakes
And I feel something's changed
And I know what's at stake
Wash the stains away
So I won't
Let the flowers grow
Into the deep below
Oh, would you forget me now?
And if I could
Take the pain away
Wash the stains away
Oh, would you forgive me now?
I made my mistakes
And I feel something's changed
Wash the stains away
And I feel quite okay

Nice tune <3
I like the melody of the lyrics in the chorus. I think that it is one of the most melodic and the most catchy they've ever written. In fact, its bluesy sound and the calling out to God thing made it unlike Foals that we know, but I am liking it. I think they've found a nice balance of style and substance. Watch the CCTV session and you will love this song.
Also, the Mary thing is from the Hail Mary, a Catholic prayer. "Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen"
"So if I go
where the flowers grow,
into the deep below.
Would you forgive me now.
But I can't find proof. Compiled my thoughts here: farfetching.com/…
