Put Yourself Back Strong Where You Belong

from Weathervane by Ben Calvert

/

about

I wrote this back in 1997. Then blur released Tender. I thought that sounded a bit like this, so I've left it a while. 23 years is safe enough, I reckon.

lyrics

May the god you believe in love you back just a little
May they keep your defences strong
Gotta build your low walls a-higher
Put yourself back strong where you belong

When the night is cold - there can be fire
When the day is deep - there can be light
Gotta keep your seven candles burning
Put yourself back strong where you belong

Now there are angels and there are devils
In every soul in every street
Gotta keep those red men a-runnin'
Put yourself back strong where you belong

May the ones that you trust in keep your door alive with knockin'
They will help to build your spirit strong
Gotta keep your own number rolling
And put yourself back strong where you belong
