I don't want my children to grow up like me
It's just so destroying, it's a mocking disease
A wasting disease
Some days I wake up with love still alive
I try to go to sleep, but I cannot close my eyes
I cannot close my eyes
I can't fight this war any more
Time to surrender, time to move on
So line up the firing squads, kiss goodbye to what you want
You can keep on struggling when you're alone
When you're alone
This sullen Welsh heart
It won't leave, it won't give up
Has won the battle easily
This sullen Welsh heart
It won't leave, it won't give up
Has won the battle easily
The battle easily
The act of creation saves us from despair
A phrase that keeps repeating in my head
In my head
It's not enough to succeed others must fail
My unhappy mantra I wish I could escape
I wish I could escape
I can't fight this war any more
Time to surrender, time to move on
So line up the firing squads, kiss goodbye to what you want
You can keep on struggling when you're alone
When you're alone
This sullen Welsh heart
It won't leave, it won't give up
Has won the battle easily
This sullen Welsh heart
It won't leave, it won't give up
Has won the battle easily
This sullen Welsh heart
It won't leave, it won't give up
Has won the battle easily
This sullen Welsh heart
It won't leave, it won't give up
Has won the battle easily
The battle easily
