Plagiarist

2 ContributorsPlagiarist Lyrics [Chorus] I can't pretend to regret it The days that just won't die Under the shape of a sail Receiving my own mind The cold steel and the instant The taste of rust and brine The great fear of a moment Appealing to the sky [Verse 2] They come and carry me out Into the damp lane An unaccompanied child Raises a fat hand When I had nothing to give I gave what wasn't mine I opened up an old book [Chorus] I can't pretend to regret it The days that just won’t die Under the shape of a sail I'm reading my own mind The cold steel and the pressure The taste of rust and brine The ship's keel and the infant Asleep in his own life
