Lyrics - Some unholy war

Story behind the song:
This was the first song Amy wrote about Blake. She often says that she doesn't know what it is about, although it's not that hard to understand. This is why she sings "B- I would have died to". B is fr Blake.

In the song is also references to them self harming in Blakes kitchen.

What's interesting with this song is that this song really supports a rumor that I've heard a couple of times now.

A big mystery has always been where Blake gets his money from. He got to London when he was 16 and he's never had a real job, the only work people talked about is video assistant.

Anyways, in 2005 when he met Amy, he had a nice flat in London where he had these wild parties with lots of drugs, self harming and young girls. And here is the rumor: lots of people said that Blake got to live in the flat for free as he sold drugs for the man owning it. When Amy and Blake married, he moved, and the dealer was furious as the flat was a hell hole, with blood everywhere.

If my man was fighting
Some unholy war
I would be behind him
Straight shook up beside him
With strength he didn't know
It's you I'm fighting for
He can't lose with me in tow
I refuse to let him go
At his side and drunk on pride
We wait for the blow

We put it in writing
But who you writing for
Just us on kitchen floor
Justice done,
Reciting my stomach standing still
Like you're reading my will
He still stands in spite of what his scars say
I'll battle till this bitter finale
Just me, my dignity and this guitar case

Yes my man is fighting some unholy war
And I will stand beside you
Who you fighting for
B - I would have died too
I'd of liked to
If my man was fighting
Some unholy war
If my man was fighting
