Lyrics

Sacrifice

[Verse 1] It's a human sign When things go wrong When the scent of her lingers And temptation's strong Into the boundary Of each married man Sweet deceit comes calling And negativity lands [Chorus] Cold, cold heart Hard done by you Some things lookin' better, baby Just passin' through And it's no sacrifice Just a simple word Two hearts livin' In two separate worlds But, it's no sacrifice No sacrifice No sacrifice, at all [Verse 2] Mutual misunderstandings After the fact Sensitivity builds a prison In the final act We lose direction No stone unturned No tears to damn you When jealousy burns [Chorus] Cold, cold heart Hard done by you Some things look' better, baby Just passin' through And it's no sacrifice Just a simple word Two hearts livin' In two separate world And, it's no sacrifice No sacrifice No sacrifice, at all [Outro] I gave my heart I gave my heart I gave my heart I gave my heart

Kate Nash has paid tribute to Sinéad O'Connor with a reworked version of 'Famine'

The cover carries personal weight through Nash's dual British-Irish heritage. And a tin whistle.
