[Fatboy Slim, David Byrne, Florence Welch - Here Lies Love lyrics]
My dresses were all hand-me downs and scraps
I’d see the people smile
When I would sing for them
How happy they all seemed when I would dance
We lived a stone’s throw from the palace
A simple country girl who had a dream
The ladies passing by, a better class than I
How much it meant to me to be like these
Is it a sin to love too much?
Is it a sin to care? I do it all for you
How can it be unfair?
I know that when my number’s up
When I am called by God above
Don’t have my name inscribed into the stone
Just say: Here lies love, here lies love
Here lies love just say:
Here lies love, here lies love
Here lies love
The most important things are love and beauty
It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor
To prosper and to fly, a basic human right
The feeling in your heart that you’re secure
Is it a sin to love too much?
Is it a sin to care? I do it all for you
How can it be unfair?
I know that when my number’s up
When I am called by God above
Don’t have my name inscribed into the stone
Just say: Here lies love, here lies love
Here lies love just say:
Here lies love, here lies love
Here lies love
I know that when my number’s up
When I am called by God above
Don’t have my name inscribed into the stone
Just say: Here lies love, here lies love
Here lies love just say:
Here lies love, here lies love
Here lies love
