Rule Nor Reason Lyrics - Billy Bragg

The wind sways the trees and the raindrops on the leaves 

Tumble down, down my neck in the breeze 

Yes, it's true I hid out in the shadow of your doubt, 

And this medal that I wear is not for bravery, I'm afraid 

And we're both going to have to accept 

That this might be as good as it gets 

As our love for each other respects 

Neither rule nor reason 

The Queen on her throne plays Shirley Bassey 

Records when she's all on her own 

And she looks out the window 

And cries 

What should I do? Scratch off all of my tattoos? 

And forget those girls' names? 

But you're not about to let me do that, are you? 

And we're both going to have to accept 

That this might be as bad as it gets 

As our love for each other respects 

Neither rule nor reason 

And we're both going to have to accept 

That this might be as big as it gets 

As our love for each other respects 

Neither rule nor reason
