Benjamin Clementine - Quiver a Little Lyrics

Talk to me friend, talk to me, talk to me
I am listening to the advice
Slowly, slowly, please, slowly
We have a lot of time
Sometimes I would wish you were I
To see clearly, not just visualize

Many people said
Oh I'm lost, I'm a bastard, oh am lost
Those same people will pray
For the best, for their own brothers
So why would I quiver but quiver a little, then burst in laughter

(He laughs)

Read all the books and you will find
Nothing new has been hidden underneath the sun
Integrity is sometimes hard to climb
But I look up, not down, who knows might go a bit further up there

Many people will say
You are lost, you are a bastard, you're lost
Those same people will pray
For the best to for their own sisters

And so friend I will just quiver a little, then burst in laughter

(He laughs)

Life is as cold just not literally as in Greenland
Where snowfall is the norm as opposed to the ray of sunlight but
Like the boy who woke up one morning to see his mother
On the floor then he screamed
"Wake up mother"

And so why would you waste a lot of energy on what people might say?

Oh, just quiver a little
Then burst in laughter
Quiver a little then get back to your stride
