Love Forty Down - Frank Turner

I’m love forty down

As the match slips away from me, I need the crowd to pray for me

To turn this one around

I’ve worked far too hard to be this far from victory

I’m battered and I’m bruised

And I can’t afford to lose

I’m love forty down

As the day slips away from me, I have to say that honestly

I still haven’t found

The person who can take the strain of deuce, advantage, back again

So, I’ll do this on my own

There’s no one waiting when I’m done

In the time it takes for the serve to rise and fall

We’ll find out if I am man or mouse, if I am set to stand or fall

I’m love forty down

And I can well recall the day my father reached the ancient age

That’s now bearing down

The barrel of my fourth decade and honestly I am afraid

I’m long in the tooth

But I’m ready for the truth

In the time it takes for the serve to rise and fall

We’ll find out if I am man or mouse, if I am set to stand or fall

In the time it takes for the umpire to flip his coin

We’ll find out if I can take the strain if I can make it through break point

I’m love forty down

I’m gonna turn this one around

I’m love forty down

I’m gonna turn this one around

Break point (I'm love forty down)

Break point (I'm love forty down)

I’m gonna turn this one around
