Stand Down Lyrics - Singles - Art Brut

I thought my resolve 

Was too hard to be broken 

It's easy to pretend 

That you were just joking 

There's no need to see plans 

Through to fruition 

Especially if 

You've guessed the conclusion 

Some of us want to go back to our families 

Stand down with Enrico Gatti 

Some of us want to go back to our families 

Stand down with Enrico Gatti 

A right to advise, advice of the wise 

There's no shame in giving in 

I'm delighted to have found 

If it's too heavy 

You can 

Just put it down 

The bravest decision 

You ever make 

Is admitting that 

You've made a mistake 

Some of us want to go back to our families 

Stand down with Enrico Gatti 

Some of us want to go back to our families 

Stand down with Enrico Gatti 

A right to advise, advice if you're wise 

There's no shame in, giving in 

Stand down, stand down 

Stand down, stand down 

It's not a lack of determination 

It's more heroic resignation 

Some of us want to go back to our families 

Stand down with Enrico Gatti 

Some of us want to go back to our families 

Stand down with Enrico Gatti 

I've no right to advise, advice of your wise 

There's no shame in giving up
