'Bloodless Coup' - Twice Born Men || Piano and Voices

An arrangement of Sweet Billy Pilgrim's "Bloodless Coup" from their second album, Twice Born Men, for piano and voices.

I implore you guys to check out this band! They're a small indie group but if you like prog or folk rock or bands like Elbow then you should love Sweet Billy Pilgrim.

The saxophone sound mimics the voice; it sounds better than the voice sounds.

Lyrics:

He wipes clean slates,
The tearful diplomat who negotiates
The end of all beginnings.
Hapless and humble now,
He stumbles from a building putting fires out
And runs, and runs away.

What's to overthrow
When everything you know's corrupted?
No matter what you do

You're never gonna make it right.
You're never gonna feel alive
'Til you're defeated and broken.
You're never gonna make it up.
It's never gonna be enough
To turn it all round.
We fall down again.

Take heart and lose face.
It's easier to breath when the declaration's made
And flags are lowered.
It burns like paper boats;
He swallows every promise like an antidote
'Til lips are numb with hope.

And who's to overthrow
When power makes us so indifferent?
No matter what you do

You're never gonna make it right.
You're never gonna feel alive
'Til you're defeated and broken.
You're never gonna make it up.
It's never gonna be enough
To turn it all round.
We fall down again.

How's it gonna feel when the doors give way?
Whatchu gonna see when the light can't find you?
Whatchu gonna do when the pennies drop,
When you look up and it's all behind you?
How's it gonna feel when the doors give way?
Whatchu gonna see when the light can't find you?
Whatchu gonna do when the pennies drop,
When you look up and it's all behind you?

How's it gonna feel when the doors give way?
Whatchu gonna see when the light can't find you?
Whatchu gonna do when the pennies drop,
When you look up and it's all behind you?

You're never gonna make it right.
You're never gonna feel alive
'Til you're defeated and broken.
You're never gonna make it up.
It's never gonna be enough
To turn it all round.
We fall down again.
