Bonnie 'Prince' Billy & Matt Sweeney - Blood Embrace lyrics

Oh God, would I give her up to him If she told me he was better And that I didn't have the chance That he did to impress her? Does she test me, does she know That I would sooner turn and go And find another If that is what she'd have me do? Would she stop and hold me near If she could see the future here Would hold me if she held me To her too? Would not fight with hands or words Another man, no, that's absurd Or would I, and would victory Betray me? Or is that what she's waiting on A pounding down one standing man? To kiss her in the blood embrace Of victory To kiss her in a blood embrace Of victory To kiss her in a blood embrace Of victory (victory) To kiss her in a blood embrace Of victory To kiss her in a blood embrace Of victory Oh would I give her up at all Because I know it could not be better To live without what she provides When we're alone and I undress her Does she test me, does she know That I would never turn and go But find another If that's what she'd have me do? (Woman:) "Charlie. I've, uh, I've been with another man Aren't you gonna say anything? Just gonna sit there? Charlie, I didn't know when you were coming back or if you ever would I tell ya, the men around here don't respect anything I told you all the guys that called me up And then Cliff Cliff didn't make a pa** at me, I mean, he didn't even.. do it, at all, Charlie I knew what he wanted, but he never did anything about it And then it just seemed like that two of us just had to." (Charlie:) "I don't think I'm up for any more of this Why don't you go to bed? I'll work this all out." (Woman:) "What are you gonna do?" (Charlie:) "I'm just gonna sit here." Or is that what she's waiting on A pounding down one standing man? To kiss her in a blood embrace Of victory To kiss her in a blood embrace Of victory To kiss her in a blood embrace Of victory To kiss her in a blood embrace Of victory
