Champ - Marc Almond/The Willing Sinners[00:00:00]
Written by:Marc Almond[00:00:01]
Way back then I was a champion[00:00:06]
The fighter in the ring[00:00:11]
And all the crowds would cheer[00:00:15]
My praises they would sing[00:00:17]
Now I am a forgotten man[00:00:22]
A hobo out alone[00:00:26]
No champ to push me on[00:00:29]
Nothing no one to call my own[00:00:32]
I was a dark eyed boy[00:00:56]
Stars in his eyes[00:00:58]
Promises made flesh and blood[00:01:01]
Grip of arm[00:01:05]
And granite charm[00:01:06]
Oh times were golden[00:01:08]
Times were good[00:01:10]
Sinew young[00:01:12]
And skin of ore[00:01:13]
Molten and streaming with dreams[00:01:15]
Now I nod away the days[00:01:19]
Barely remembering names it seems[00:01:22]
Oh I would smile[00:01:58]
To hear the bell[00:02:00]
Ringing out my glory[00:02:02]
Like a bull I paced the ring[00:02:06]
My bloody territory[00:02:09]
I held on high[00:02:13]
The fist in glove[00:02:14]
The symbol of my power[00:02:16]
Now I wait[00:02:20]
A punch drunk fool[00:02:21]
To fade away forever[00:02:24]
Broken noses[00:03:00]
Broken jaws[00:03:02]
And many broken hearts[00:03:03]
An idol[00:03:07]
And a hero[00:03:08]
Till my courage fell apart[00:03:10]
And now my brain a ringing[00:03:13]
With the final[00:03:16]
Bell and count[00:03:17]
They held my hand up limply[00:03:20]
Told the world[00:03:22]
That I was out[00:03:24]
I didn't mind the scars[00:03:26]
The blood[00:03:29]
The crushing of the hand[00:03:30]
But to lose a nation's love[00:03:33]
Respect is something I'll never[00:03:35]
Understand[00:03:39]
Is something I'll never[00:03:43]
Understand[00:03:46]
It's[00:03:49]
Something I'll never[00:03:50]
Understand[00:03:53]
I'm gonna bury my head[00:04:01]
And cry[00:04:06]
