Lyrics for If Only

So hold your head, and hold your tongue But only say what you have to And as a child yes I dreamed Of holding her in the silver screen She loved her man and loved him twice I wish I'd been that passenger Having fun, fly my kite The devil inside won't control my life Too much love, so little hate The devil inside won't control my fate Oh, if only, if only Oh, he wasn't so lonely He'd have someone to play with Instead of bombing our neighbours Yeah, yeah So here I go to see the world With my eyes and with my soul And too much love, so little hate The devil inside won't control my fate Oh, if only, if only Oh, he wasn't so lonely He'd have someone to play with Instead of bombing our neighbours Yeah, yeah Yeah! So hold your head and run my time The what of life no man can rhyme So here we are and here we bleed To be a victim there's no need Having fun, I never fight The devil inside controls my life Too much love so little hate The devil inside controls my fate Oh, if only, if only Oh, he wasn't so lonely He'd have someone to play with Instead of bombing our neighbours Oh, if only, if only Oh, he wasn't so lonely He'd have someone to play with Instead of bombing our neighbours
