I've been kicked right down I've been spat in the face I've been pulled, weighed down To the lowest place I've been lied to, shamed I have been disgraced Been ex-communicated from every holy place I've been beat up and robbed I've been left for dead For the way I look For the things I said When trouble thinks it's found us The world falls down around us I promise baby you won't ever You won't ever feel a thing 'Cause I will take it on the chin Eh, for you So lay your cuts and bruises over my skin I promise you won't feel a thing, no 'Cause everything the world could throw I'll stand in front, I'll take the blow for you. For you. I've been cleared on the street I've been left in the cold Had my dreams held up Had them shot full of holes I've been laughed at, burnt, beat and butt of the joke I've been lit up in flames I have gone down in smoke I've been stabbed in the back While they promised the earth Tried to keep my head high For all I am worth Outside our double glazing I know a war is raging I promise baby you won't ever You won't ever feel a thing 'Cause I will take it on the chin Eh, for you So lay your cuts and bruises over my skin I promise you won't feel a thing, no 'Cause everything the world could throw I'll stand in front, I'll take the blow for you. For you. Yeah And if I fall here At least you know my dear that I would die for you Promise you won't ever feel a thing And if I fall here At least you know my dear that I would die for you Promise you won't ever feel a thing 'Cause I will take it on the chin Eh, for you So lay your cuts and bruises over my skin I promise you won't feel a thing, no 'Cause everything the world could throw I'll stand in front, I'll take the blow for you. For you. Yeah everything the world could throw I'll take the sticks, I'll take the stones for you For you
