lyrics

I must have one of those faces that’s crying out for a fist in it
There must be a sign on my demeanour that says “come on over, you can treat me like shit”

But this is what you need
so this is what you have
You turn the fire on me
so you don’t feel so bad

Well baby, I’m a punchbag
Come take your cheap shot
You say you’re sorry when I know you’re not
I’m just another scapegoat that you’ve found
And I’m not sure if I can go another round
But then the bell will sound

My insides are pulp
I’m seeing stars
But I can take more than I’ll ever show
And now I’m swaying around like a drunken lout screaming “come on then, who else wants a go!?”

’Cause baby, I’m a punchbag
Come take your cheap shot
You say you’re sorry when I know you’re not
You say it’s not fair that I just give in
Well, I’m rendered speechless when you’re laying your boots in

But this is what you need
so this is what you have
You turn the fire on me
so you don’t feel so bad
You’ve had me in the air
You’ve had me on the run
Now leave me in your wake
now you’ve had your fun

Baby, I’m a punchbag
Come take your cheap shot
You say you’re sorry
when I know you’re not

Baby, I’m a punchbag
Come take your cheap shot
You say you’re sorry
when I know you’re not
’Cause I’m just another scapegoat that you’ve found
And I’m not sure if I can go another round

Baby, I’m a punchbag
Come take your cheap shot
You say you’re sorry
when I know you’re not
And I know you’re not

about

Luke James Williams England, UK

Light and dark, ugly and beautiful, happy and sad, fearful and brave, the music of singer songwriter Luke James Williams reflects the opposing forces and wonderful chaos of the world around us. Combining the raw power of PJ Harvey with the delicate sensitivity of Sufjan Stevens, Williams paints pictures with words and sings them in his own distinctly British voice. ... more
