Lyrics

Austere (The Naked and Famous Remix)

See the medal reverse
This hope is not lost
There's mischief to turn
Your ship to send off

Barbed wits and gowns
They'll ransack this town
I'd rescue you now
But in velvet you'll drown
And dance again

Oh, austere
Lay by my side
You've been left here
You'll make no sound
Hey, last word
Don't let me down
Just another
Unfinished story now
Unfinished story now
Unfinished story now
Unfinished story now

Oh, austere
Lay by my side
You've been left here
You'll make no sound
Hey, last word
Don't let me down
Just another
Unfinished story now
Unfinished story now
Unfinished story now
Unfinished story now
