Mary - The Maccabees

I was in the other room

When handsome was getting leather

And laces

Couldn’t save a family

Cos heroes wear masks

And lycra

Out, out, out, out, out, Mary, get out

You’re freezing

In, in, in, in, in, brother, get in

And get your head kicked in, in, in, in, in

Cos it’s in, in, in, in, in

Down, down, down, down, down, I heard you fell down

And you scraped your knee

Up, up, up, up, up, pick yourself up

You get a plaster

On your cut

Cos it’s on, on, on, and up

On, on, on, and up

You wish that it was you

You wish that it was you

You wish that it was you

So you got yourself in a hole

You can’t get out

I won’t be there, can’t be around

So hold me down

I’ll let you know

'Bout the places we can’t go

I won’t let go and I won’t hold you back

When I’m falling away

I’ve paid the price and I’m willing to pay

So willing to pay

The price that you pay

And the reason I can’t stay

Cos you live so far away

You wish that it was you

You wish that it was you

You wish that it was you

You wish that it was you

You wish that it was you

You wish that it was you

So out, out, out, out, Mary, get out

Cos you’re freezing

And in, in, in, in, Brother, get in

Brother, get in

Brother, get in

Brother, get in
