Owen Pallett
Legacy
[Intro]
That's it, the end
But you'll get over it, my friend

[Verse 1]
Time will pass, governments fall
Glaciers melt, hurricanes bawl
High-speed trains take us away
North or south and back the same day

[Refrain]
And you, you'll get over it
You do, you get over it

[Verse 2]
Seasons will change, more or less
Species vanish, art perplex
Resentment remain both east and west
Police expect an arrest

[Refrain]
For now, you'll get over it
Somehow, you'll get over it

[Verse 3]
You'll be there, the king over the water
In despair, recoiling from the slaughter
[Verse 4]
They're raising an army in the North
From York Minster to the Firth of Forth
A pilgrimage of grace, you won't believe it
Such a human face when you receive it

[Refrain]
And you will get over it
With time to kill, you'll get over it

[Interlude]

[Verse 5]
There's a cruiser waiting at Scapa Flow
To take you away from all you know
The old man agonised
He really has compromised

[Verse 6]
Public opinion may not be on your side
There are those who think they've been taken for a ride

[Refrain]
You'll get over it, I'm on your side because
You'll get over it, and what a ride it was!
[Bridge]
Tous les artistes dans le monde
Chantent pour toi ce soir
Tous les artistes dans le monde
Chantent pour toi c'est noir

[Refrain]
It's dark, but you'll get over it
On your mark, you'll get over it

[Verse 7]
That Carphone Warehouse boy has been on the phone
He wants to upgrade the mobile you own
Have you realised your computer's a spy?
Give him a ring, he'll explain why

[Refrain]
The bourgeoisie will get over it
Look at me, I'm so over it
And you, you'll get over it!
You do, you get over it in time
