lyrics
(Sing it yourself and help us spread the word!)
F
It's not about me
Am
I'm only here for a minute
Dm
And I know that i can't fix it
Bb
if i can help even just a little bit
won't you let me try
And I promise that i will try
Not to make it any worse
To steal a little bit of the hurt
If i could be your human shield
If i could be your samurai
I cut down your enemies
and pull you through alright
It's not about me
I'm only here for a minute
And i know that i can't fix it
if i can help just a little bit
But the memory won't forget us,
No matter all the time of the work,
the work, the work,
No matter how we try.
If i could be your human shield,
If i could be your Masai,
I cut down your enemies,
and pull you through alright.
If i could be your human shield,
If i could be your samurai,
I cut down your enemies,
and pull you through alright,
but it's not about me,
I'm only here for a minute,
I know that i can't fix it,
if i can help even just a little bit,
won't you let me try.

Richard McGraw is an excellent live performer and intricate lyricist in the vein of Cohen, Dylan and Cave before him. Here, he offers an album of stunning covers and one damn good original too. Niall Connolly
Edd Donovan's day job as a social worker brings a sense of empathy to his elegantly constructed political folk music. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 26, 2019
A fascinating, appealing record no less “weird” than the rest of her oeuvre, but certainly the most weirdly versatile. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 25, 2022
