Blood Embrace Lyrics – Bonnie Prince Billy

Blood Embrace Lyrics by Bonnie Prince Billy

Oh God, would I give her up to him
If she told me he was better
And that I didn’t have the chance ?
That he [did ?] to impress her ?

Does she test me ? Does she know
That I would sooner turn and go
Than fight another, if that is what she have me do ?
/ INSTRUMENTAL – electric guitar /

And would she stop and hold me near
If she could see the future here ?
Would hold me if she held me to her too ?
I would not fight with hands or words

Another man – no, that’s absurd
Or would I end what victory betray me
/ INSTRUMENTAL – electric guitar /
Or is that what she’s waiting on ?

A-pounding down one standing man
To kiss her in a blood embrace of victory
To kiss her in a blood embrace of victory
To kiss her in a blood embrace of victory

(To kiss her in a blood embrace of victory
To kiss her in a blood embrace of victory)
[Oh/Or] would I give her up at all
Because I know it could not be better

To live without what she provides
When we’re alone and I undress her
Does she test me ? Does she know
That I would never turn and go

But fight another, if that’s what she have me do ?
[Woman] Charlie… I’ve, uh… I’ve been with another man.
Aren’t you gonna say anything ? You’re just gonna sit there ?
Oh Charlie, I didn’t know when you were coming back

[or if you ever would.
I tell you, the men around here don’t respect anything ;
[if I told you all the guys that called me up…
And then Cliff… He didn’t make a pass at me.

I mean he didn’t even… do it at all, Charlie.
[I knew what he wanted, but…
He never did anything about it.
And then it just seemed like the two of us just had to.

[Charlie] I don’t think I’m up for any more of this.
Why don’t you go to bed ?
I’ll work this all out. [Woman] What are you gonna do ?
[Charlie] I’m just gonna sit here.

[Oh/Or] is that what she’s waiting on ?
A-pounding down one standing man
To kiss her in a blood embrace of victory
To kiss her in a blood embrace of victory

To kiss her in a blood embrace of victory
