Blood Embrace Lyrics - Singles - Bonnie Prince Billy

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 

Than fight another, if that is what she have me do ? 

/ INSTRUMENTAL - electric guitar / 

And would she stop and hold me near 

If she could see the future here ? 

Would hold me if she held me to her too ? 

I would not fight with hands or words 

Another man - no, that's absurd 

Or would I end what victory betray me 

/ INSTRUMENTAL - electric guitar / 

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 

To kiss her in a blood embrace of victory) 

[Oh/Or] 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 fight another, if that's what she have me do ? 

SPOKEN [film dialogue] : 

[Woman] Charlie... I've, uh... I've been with another man. 

Aren't you gonna say anything ? You're just gonna sit there ? 

Oh Charlie, I didn't know when you were coming back 

[or if you ever would. 

I tell you, the men around here don't respect anything ; 

[if I told you all the guys that called me up... 

And then Cliff... He didn't make a pass 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 the 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. 

[Oh/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)
