[00:00.00] Massive Attack - Protection
[00:37.64] (vowles, del naja, marshall, thorn)
[00:39.64]
[00:41.64] This girl I know needs some shelter
[00:47.13] She don't believe anyone can help her
[00:52.44] She's doing so much harm, doing so much damage
[00:58.12] But you don't want to get involved
[01:01.00] You tell her she can manage
[01:03.85] And you can't change the way she feels
[01:06.63] But you could put your arms around her
[01:12.33]
[01:15.38] I know you want to live yourself
[01:18.45] But could you forgive yourself
[01:21.27] If you left her just the way
[01:24.10] You found her
[01:25.84]
[01:26.58] I stand in front of you
[01:29.53] I'll take the force of the blow
[01:32.73] Protection
[01:36.44]
[01:38.04] I stand in front of you
[01:40.87] I'll take the force of the blow
[01:44.15] Protection
[01:48.31]
[01:49.55] You're a boy and i'm a girl
[01:52.12] But you know you can lean on me
[02:00.79] And I don't have no fear
[02:03.36] I'll take on any man here
[02:06.88] Who says that's not the way it should be
[02:10.68]
[02:11.99] I stand in front of you
[02:15.01] I'll take the force of the blow
[02:18.22] Protection
[02:22.83]
[02:23.52] I stand in front of you
[02:26.33] I'll take the force of the blow
[02:29.54] Protection
[02:33.32]
[02:34.87] She's a girl and you're a boy
[02:38.01] Sometimes you look so small, look so small
[02:46.30] You've got a baby of your own
[02:49.96] When your baby's gone, she'll be the one
[02:53.92] To catch you when you fall
[02:56.82]
[02:57.56] I stand in front of you
[03:00.50] I'll take the force of the blow
[03:03.72] Protection
[03:07.53]
[03:09.01] I stand in front of you
[03:11.77] I'll take the force of the blow
[03:15.17] Protection
[03:19.20]
[03:20.50] You're a girl and i'm a boy
[03:26.08] You're a girl and i'm a boy
[03:31.74] You're a girl and i'm a boy
[03:37.48] You're a girl and i'm a boy
[03:40.91]
[03:43.48] Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter
[03:49.32] Just runnin' round and round, helter skelter
[03:54.55] And I've leaned on me for years
[03:57.82] Now you can lean on me
[04:00.60] And that's more than love, that's the way it should be
[04:05.76] Now I can't change the way you feel
[04:08.65] But I can put my arms around you
[04:14.17]
[04:17.45] That's just part of the deal
[04:20.95] That's the way I feel
[04:23.40] I'll put my arms around you
[04:28.05]
[04:28.58] I stand in front of you
[04:31.39] I'll take the force of the blow
[04:34.79] Protection
[04:39.05]
[04:39.97] I stand in front of you
[04:42.75] I'll take the force of the blow
[04:45.99] Protection
[04:49.95]
[04:51.49] You're a boy and i'm a girl
[04:57.06] You're a boy and i'm a girl
[05:02.75] You're a boy and i'm a girl
[05:08.57] You're a boy and i'm a girl
[05:13.15]
