Whipped Lyrics - Singer's Grave/a Sea Of Tongues - Bonnie Prince Billy

Yes, I'm quieter, tired 

I'm more apt to say 

"You go on, boys, I'm good 

Think I'll stay in today." 

I ain't older (yes, I'm older) 

But that's not why the scales have tipped. 

Oh you know I've been chosen to be whipped. 

Lion tamer, pride life reframer 

That warm pot of gold 

Always waiting, fear abating 

To welcome me home from the cold 

It's my pleasure or my treasure 

It's the opening that I had so dreamed for 

Often screamed for I was as I like to die 

And then I found her, and now I hound her 

To get mine fully lipped, I'm in love, love, 

And I am absolutely 

Whipped. 

Must be love 

I'm whipped and cowed 

And I'll whoop and holler 

If I'm allowed.
