Quiver A Little - Benjamin Clementine

Talk to me friend, talk to me, talk to me

I am listening to your advice

Slowly, slowly, please, slowly

We have a lot of time

Sometimes I would wish, I would wish that you were I

To see clearly, not just visualize

Many people said

Oh I’m lost, I’m a bastard, Oh I’m lost

Those same people pray

For the best, for their own brothers

So why would I quiver but quiver a little

Then burst in laughter

Quiver a little

Read all the books and you will find

Nothing new has been hidden underneath the sun

Integrity is sometimes hard to climb

But if I look up, not down, and maybe who knows

I might go a bit further up there, and further up there

Many people will say

Oh you’re lost, you are a bastard, you’re lost

And those same people pray

For the best, for their own sisters

And so I will only just quiver a little

Then burst in laughter

Life is as cold not literally as in Greenland

Where snowfall is the norm

As opposed to the ray of sunlight

But, like the boy who woke up one night

To see his poor mother on the floor

And he screamed, «Mother, mother, wake up, wake up, mother!»

So why would you waste a lot of your energy

On what, what people might say

Just quiver a little

Then burst in laughter

Just quiver a little

Just quiver a little

Just quiver a little

Then burst in laughter

Quiver a little

Then burst in laughter

Quiver a little then get back to your stride
