Some Unholy War (Live At Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London / 2007)

[Verse 1]
If my man was fightin' some unholy war
I would be behind him
Straight shook up beside him
With strength he didn't know
It's you I'm fightin' for
He can't lose with me in tow (With me in tow)
I refuse to let him go (To let him go)
At, at his side and drunk on pride
We wait for the blow

[Verse 2]
We put it in writin'
But who you writin' for?
Just us on kitchen floor
Justice done, recitin'
My stomach standin' still
Like you readin' my will
He still stands in spite of what his scars say (Standing)
And I'll battle 'til this bitter finale
Just, just me, my dignity, and this guitar case, mm, oh

[Verse 3]
Yes, my man is fightin' some unholy war
And I will fight beside you
But who you dyin' for?
B, I would have died, too
I'd like to
If my man was fightin' some unholy war
Yeah, if my man was fightin'

[Outro]
Thank you. Um, that's, uh, that song, that was onе of the first songs I wrote for, for, for...that was one of thе first songs I wrote for, for this album. It took, it took like a year to, to finish. It's not even that good! Like, do you know what I mean? It could be, could be...dammit, I should've...some kind of symphony or, yeah. But, um, but, um...um, uh, yeah. It's, yeah...but in contrast, in contrast this next song literally I wrote down, uh sat down with the guitar and wrote, and it wrote itself, do you know what I mean? So, it's really different like that. Um, funny, I spent a year on the fucker and I still...don't quite—still haven't quite nailed it! I...anyway, this one's called "Love's a Losing Game."
