The Jazz Butcher Lyrics Never Give Up

Lyrics

Never Give Up
Never Give up
Never Give up
Never Give up
Never Give up
Never Give up
Never Give up
Never Give up
I'll never Give up

I wasn't ready for you
How can anyone ever be ready for you?
And I said I would tear my stupid life in two for a half an hour alone with you
And she said "that might be arranged".
For a year or so I used to see you where we'd go
And thought once or twice a smile had been exchanged

But you don't know me
You told me so today
You don't know me
What curious thing to say

You see I agree with Dave
Embrace your disfunction
Be brave, don't be afraid

But if you say absolutely no
Then where am I supposed to go?
What the hell am I supposed to do?
Yeah and who the hell am I supposed to be to you?

When you don't know me.
Though you know all my friends
You don't know me
And that's what matters in the end

See I married Isis on the first day of May
I drove monster trucks through my life fuck get out of my way
Devastation! A home is destroyed
Blasted and bleak as the streets of Saskatchewan

You don't know me
Well girl it's not condition blue
You don't know me
Maybe it's best you never do
Aww because everything you ever say
And everything you do
And it was new years day the day I fell in love with you
All the screaming and the crying
All the violence the despair
The toxic shit I'm shouting as I piss down my own stairs
You don't know me
Well girl it's not condition blue
You don't me
Maybe best you never do.

Never Give up
Never Give up
Never Give up
Never Give up
Never Give up
Never Give up
Never Give up
'Till you want to

The Highest in the Land
It's not often that an artist gets to do a Bowie by consciously carving their personal epitaph into the grooves of their final LP. The Highest in the Land is that rarity of an album, and it could not have been made by a more brilliantly poetic and fearlessly sarcastic writer than Pat Fish, also known as The Jazz Butcher.
