David Byrne & Fatboy Slim Here Lies Love lyrics

When I was a young girl in Leyte
My dresses were all hand-me-downs and scraps
I'd see the people smile when I would sing for them
How happy they all seemed when I would dance

We lived a stone's throw from the palace
A simple country girl who had a dream
The ladies passing by, a better class than I
How much it meant to me to be like these

Is it a sin to love too much?
Is it a sin to care?
I do it all for you
How can it be unfair?

I know that when my number's up
When I am called by God above
Don't have my name inscribed into the stone

Just say
Here lies love, here lies love, here lies love
Just say
Here lies love, here lies love, here lies love

The most important things are love and beauty
Doesn't matter if you're rich or poor
To prosper and to fly, a basic human right

Feeling in your heart is you're secure

Is it a sin to love too much?
Is it a sin to care?
I do it all for you
How can it be unfair?

I know that when my number's up
When I am called by God above
Don't have my name inscribed into the stone

Just say
Here lies love, here lies love, here lies love
Just say
Here lies love, here lies love, here lies love

I know that when my number's up
When I am called by God above
Don't have my name inscribed into the stone

Just say
Here lies love, here lies love, here lies love
Just say
Here lies love, here lies love, here lies love
