A Humble Man Rises by The Swirling Eddies Lyrics

[Chorus 1]
The humble man rises to a new low
A humble man rises to a new low
The humble man rises
Full of surprises
And cuts a dashing figure on the rocks below

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna love you in spite of yourself
I'm gonna love you in spite of myself
Can you love me too
Just like I love you
Aall in spite of ourselves?

[Verse 2]
A tough guy, immune to the elements
Mad jackals running with the elephants
Hating God and man just for the hell of it
I'm a pervert with the dreams of a celibate

[Verse 3]
Time just mutilates me more, yeah
Time just mutilates me more, yeah
Helps me shed my skin
But the shape I'm in is
Better than it's ever been before
[Chorus 2]
The humble man rises to a new low
The humble man rises to a new low
Nothing is ending
It's all beginning
When he cuts a dashing figure on the rocks below

[Verse 4]
Score another crushing defeat
It's just another crushing defeat
Sweeping you off your feet
You're stronger and you're strongest when your knees are weak

[Bridge]
You might sing
Holy, holy, holy
(Lord God Almighty)
Holy, holy, holy
(Lord God Almighty)
Holy, holy, holy
(Lord God Almighty)
Holy, holy, holy

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus 1]
The humble man rises to a new low
The humble man rises to a new low
Humble man rises
Full of surprises
And cuts a dashing figure on the rocks below
[Chorus 3]
A humble man rises
(I'm gonna love you)
Humble man rises
(I'm gonna love you)
The humble man rises
(In spite of yourself)
The humble man rises
(In spite of myself)
The humble man rises
(Lord God Almighty)
The humble man rises
(Lord God Almighty)
The humble man rises
(Lord God Almighty)
The humble man rises
(Lord God Almighty)
The humble man rises
(Lord God Almighty)
The humble man rises
(Lord God Almighty)
The humble man rises
(Lord God Almighty)
The humble man rises
Ow!
[Outro]
Holy, holy, holy
(Lord God Almighty)
Holy, holy, holy
(Lord God Almighty)
Holy, holy, holy
(Lord God Almighty)
