Accused Of Stealing

Accused Of Stealing - The Delgados

Written by：Stewart Henderson/Paul Savage/Emma Pollock/Alun Woodward

Tell me your confessions

Let me be the ears for all your sins

Let me take advantage of your whims

My life is no haven have a feel

But it's just worth saving craving

And you will feel appalled as you bare it all

And I don't even know if I'll be listening

If I could stand it I'd let you believe what you choose

But how can I let you proceed when there's only one view

Simple to state but don't dare implicate that I'm wrong

I'll dish the dirt and I'll show you the door

And if you keep coming I'll tell you to try a little harder

Make a little sadder all your tales

Just enough to feel good without scales

Fill my head with things I haven't done

The more the black the better shelter

And you're my saving grace with your tragic case

Live a life just make sure it's your own one

I left behind with no doubt in my mind I was gone

But ten years reflection and sudden affection comes on

Taken aback by the fact that I picked up the phone

Tried to convince you I'll be round one day

You're probably thinking just stay away

I've just been freewheeling

Been accused of stealing all your lines

But they're not there for speaking of foreign times

Just to keep the demons in their place

The innocence is needed

Plead my case
