[Instrumental Intro]


[Verse 1]

A body is washed up on a Norfolk beach

He was a friend that I could not reach

He thought I was cold but I understand

But for the grace of God goes another man


[Chorus]

And I may just waste away from doing nothing

But you're a martyr for even less, for even less, for even less


[Verse 2]

A choirboy is buried on the moor

Where we used to go dreaming when we were bored

Some kids are best left to fend for themselves

And others were born to stack shelves


[Chorus]

And I may just waste away from doing nothing

But you're a martyr for even less, for even less, for even less


[Post-Chorus]

(For even less)

(For even less)


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 3]

Fuck you and your book too, you can

You can have it back

When I'm gone, these songs will be

Will be my tracks


[Chorus]

And I had a stupid dream that I could change things

But I'm a martyr to even less, to even less, to even less


[Post-Chorus]

(For even less)

(For even less)

(For even less)

(For even less)


[Instrumental Break]


[Outro]

I hate the ground that I have

Have walked upon

Nothing I have done has ever

Ever mattered long, long

Long, long

Long, long

Long, long
