Jim, over at A new title for me, where you can find all this week’s great music, is continuing to do a fine job in standing in for Helen and keeping us all on our toes to find lyrics to fit in with this week’s theme of “No”.
I’ve chosen a song by one of my favourite groups, Mumford & Sons.
Without further ado, here it is. It’s called Sigh No More. The words are on the video, but I’ve also included them at the bottom. There is also a link to a live recording at Glastonbury. WARNING This recording contains strong language! They really do enjoy performing!
Sigh No More
Serve God love me and mend
This is not the end
Live unbruised we are friends
And I’m sorry
I’m sorry
Sigh no more, no more
One foot in sea one on shore
My heart was never pure
You know me
You know me
And man is a giddy thing
Oh man is a giddy thing
Oh man is a giddy thing
Oh man is a giddy thing
Love that will not betray you, dismay or enslave you,
It will set you free
Be more like the man you were made to be
There is a design,
An alignment to cry,
Of my heart to see,
The beauty of love as it was made to be
Love that will not betray you, dismay or enslave you,
It will set you free
Be more like the man you were made to be
There is a design,
An alignment to cry,
Of my heart to see,
The beauty of love as it was made to be
Love that will not betray you, dismay or enslave you,
It will set you free
Be more like the man you were made to be
There is a design,
An alignment to cry,
Of my heart to see,
The beauty of love as it was made to be
Songwriters: Benjamin Walter David Lovett / Edward James Milton Dwane / Marcus Oliver Johnstone Mumford / Winston Aubrey Aladar Marshall

Peter, I am not familiar with Mumford & Sons, but I do like this song.

I love them and this song… the live performance, in the beginning, I teared up. What a great choice, Peter!

I much prefer their earlier songs when they had a raw quality about them but I don’t think there is any of their work that I don’t like!
