Saint Etienne - Don't Back Down Lyrics

Just as I walked away,
I turned to hear you say:
(Spoken) "The words nearly got carried away by the wind.
Of that, I can make out this much."
Don't Back down,
Don't back down, this time.
Brown eyes and [cider-bright],
Don't Back down,
Don't back down, this time.
Sometimes I wonder why.
Love-town and [Fortis-green]
Your mother hated me.
(Spoken) "Caught in a car outside the [O.D.],
And rain pouring down the windscreen"
Don't Back down,
Don't back down this time.
Brown eyes and [cider-bright]
Don't Back down
Don't back down, this time.
Sometimes I wonder why.
That summer felt so long.
I never felt so strong
(Spoken) "And then, a suddent craving
That I might want to see you again"
Don't Back down,
Don't back down this time.
Brown eyes and [cider-bright]
Don't Back down
Don't back down, this time.
Sometimes I wonder why.
