THE KOOKS LYRICS - If Only

"If Only"



So hold your head, and hold your tongue

But only say what you have to

And as a child yes I dreamed

Of holding her in the silver screen

She loved her man and loved him twice

I wish I'd been that passenger

Having fun, fly my kite

The devil inside won't control my life

Too much love, so little hate

The devil inside won't control my fate



Oh, if only, if only

Oh, he wasn't so lonely

He'd have someone to play with

Instead of bombing our neighbours

Yeah, yeah...



So here I go to see the world

With my eyes and with my soul

And too much love, so little hate

The devil inside won't control my fate



Oh, if only, if only

Oh, he wasn't so lonely

He'd have someone to play with

Instead of bombing our neighbours

Yeah, yeah...

Yeah!



So hold your head and run my time

The what of life no man can rhyme

So here we are and here we bleed

To be a victim there's no need

Having fun, I never fight

The devil inside controls my life

Too much love so little hate

The devil inside controls my fate



Oh, if only, if only

Oh, he wasn't so lonely

He'd have someone to play with

Instead of bombing our neighbours
