Lights Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Mack the Spoon 

Cover art for Lights lyrics by Editors

Oh, if fortune favours the brave I am as poor as they come

I don't get that line

@Mack the Spoon i think the lyrics are wrong, it is ": i am as purple as they come", it refers to the babies when they "come" (born).

@Mack the Spoon I also hear “purple” but I think of the “Purple Heart of Bravery”. So, he is as “brave” as they come. In the context of the rest of the song, it’s probably meant sarcastically.
