the chords are different to the original but i like singing along to this version :)
Intro:
Verse:
You are my sweetest down-fall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long, when we first met
Chorus:
Sam - son went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
And history books for-got about us and the bible didn't mention us
And the bi-ble didn't mention us, not
even once
Verse:
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
But they're just old light, they're just old light
Your hair was long when we first met
Chorus:
Sam - son came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
Oh I cut his hair my - self one night
And he told me that I'd done alright
and kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light
and he kissed me 'til the mornin' light
Outro:
Sam - son went back to bed
not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once....
Chorus:
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first

About this song: Samson
Two different versions of Samson exist. The first, slightly longer(3:54), version appeared on the album Songs. The second, and more famous, version was the third track on Begin to Hope(3:10).The song tells the story of a previously undocumented relationship between the narrator and the biblical Samson. Spektor, as the narrator, engages in a relationship bordering on sadism as Samson wilfully subjugates himself to her, allowing her to cut his hair (and hence drain his strength).( wikipedia for the albums : Songs ~~ Begin to Hope ) Read more on Last.fm.
