Countenance - Beth Orton

For those who preach forgiveness

Whilst they’re practicing revenge

Man will do to man

But nature’s got it all in hand

It ain’t free

It ain’t fooled you’ll see

There are no rights for the many

The ones already damned

The fear born into grace

They’re gonna get the helping hand

It ain’t free

It ain’t fooling me

And there’s nothing to hide

And there’s nothing to save

And there’ll always be something

Your countenance to give it away

Not much more to say

Not much more to say

For those who are obsessed

With his reflection as he is

Nature has a cause

You know you ain’t never

Gonna be that blessed

It ain’t free

It ain’t fooled you’ll see

And there’s nothing to hide

And there’s nothing to save

And they’ll always be something

Your countenance to give it away

Not much more to say

Not much more to say…
