歌曲名 Substitute(Live)

歌手名 Frank Turner

The first girl that I fell for was a fair

and faithful fighter

She smoldered with a will to save the world

I did my best to help her I stood shoulder to shoulder

On the front lines with that visionary girl

I wish that she had cared for me

But in the end her ideologies

Occupied the fortress of her heart

I wrote her fifteen songs but still we had to part

If music was the food of love

Then I'd be a fat romantic slob

Music is my substitute for love

The last girl that I loved was a low and lusty liar

Who set my heart on fire and made me choke

Her beauty was a sight to see

But she didn't save it all for me

I found other fires by following the smoke

I wished that she had either cared for me or let me be

But she drove me from my mind and from my home

I wrote her sixteen songs but ended up alone

If love is really all that we need

Then even all my singing

Is never going to save me

Music is my substitute for love

I've had many different girls inside my bed

But only one or two inside my head

These days I cuddle up to my guitar instead

But oh what I would give not to stumble

But to really fall in love

And I could substitute my singing for the sound

Of someone sleeping next to me
