Frank Turner - Hold Your Tongue

You've been pretty since the day that you were born
So the roots of your beautiful hair
Drew all the water that your body could hold
So when your soul needed water, no water was there
You shed words like so much dead skin
They gather up like dust against walls
They kick up when someone comes in
So when they're looking for something they find nothing at all
Hold your goddamn tongue
You forget yourself
How could I be the one
If you're wrapped round someone else
And I really don't know which feels worse
To be a fool or be with a liar
I just know that heart once soaked and cursed
Is that much harder to set on fire
And I won't let this die
Until I've seen you cry
A single tear to show
There's water in your soul
You've been pretty since the day that you were born
So the roots of your beautiful hair
Drew all the water that your body could hold
So when your soul needed water, no water was there
You shed words like so much dead skin
They gather up like dust against walls
They kick up when someone comes in
So when they're looking for something they find nothing at all
Hold your goddamn tongue
You forget yourself
How could I be the one
If you're wrapped round someone else
And I really don't know which feels worse
To be a fool or be with a liar
I just know that heart once soaked and cursed
Is that much harder to set on fire
And I won't let this die
Until I've seen you cry
A single tear to show
There's water in your soul

I could only find covers of this song on here and none of them did it justice. Taken from 'The first three years'. I don't own this track, all credit goes to frank turner.

Hold Your Tongue by Frank Turner - Acoustic Cover

Here's another little Frank cover. This is a bit of something different for me - fiddly finger work and finger picking - but I wanted to try it out :) You have my apologies for the awful sound...
