Stand Down - Art Brut

I thought my resolve

Was too hard to be broken

It’s easy to pretend

That you were just joking

There’s no need to see plans

Through to fruition

Especially if You’ve guessed the conclusion

Some of us want to go back to our families

Stand down with Enrico Gatti

Some of us want to go back to our families

Stand down with Enrico Gatti

A right to advise, advice I you’re wise

There’s no shame in giving in

I’m delighted to have found

If it’s too heavy, you can…

Just put it down

The bravest decision you ever make

Is admitting that

You’ve made a mistake

Some of us want to go back to our families

Stand down with Enrico Gatti

Some of us want to go back to our families

Stand down with Enrico Gatti

A right to advise, advice I you’re wise

There’s no shame in giving in Stand down, stand down

Stand down, stand down

It’s not a lack of determination

It’s more heroic resignation

Some of us want to go back to our families

Stand down with Enrico Gatti

Some of us want to go back to our families

Stand down with Enrico Gatti

I’ve no right to advise, advice for the wise

There’s no shame in giving up
