After the Fact Lyrics by Cats On Fire

All Blackshirts to Me

0

I wouldn't ask if I saw you were in a rush
But it's half past ten
And I'm the only one on the bus
Please slow down, let me have a look
The roundabout here was a corner before
And it was there we took
An oath of allegiance
Just look what time does to a promise
Something I brought upon myself
Think what I did could be seen as something of a brave thing
Something I brought upon myself
What I did was the least expensive thing
If I saw you now, I could say that I kept the pact
I could say I've been true
But that'd be after the fact
To be honest It wasn't something I thought I'd do
To be honest, I never planned to give up anything for you
Now look where it brought me
Just look what time does to a promise
Something I brought upon myself
Couldn't do something like this without intention
Something I brought upon myself
Not as if I did it behind my own back
Something I brought upon myself
Here to the right, my only proper home
Told them I would bring all the money on Monday
This is my only proper home
Anything on two wheels and my blood runs cold
Something I brought upon
Something I brought upon myself
Something I brought upon myself
