Well, Amanda & Rhiannon covering Portishead was another no-brainer. And again, for a good cause. Bought this without having heard one note i
of it and, of course, I haven't been disappointed!

lyrics
It's a fire
These dreams they pass me by
The salvation I desire
Keeps getting me down
'Cause we need to
Recognize mistakes
For time and again
So let it be known
For what we believe in
I can see no reason
For it to fail
'Cause this life is a farce
I can't breathe through this mask
Like a fool
So breathe on, sister, breathe on
From this oneself
Testify or tell
It's fooling us now
So let it be known
For what we believe in
I can see no reason
For it to fail
'Cause this life is a farce
I can't breathe through this mask
Like a fool
So breathe on, little sister, breathe on
Oh, so breathe on, little sister, like a fool
These dreams they pass me by
The salvation I desire
Keeps getting me down
'Cause we need to
Recognize mistakes
For time and again
So let it be known
For what we believe in
I can see no reason
For it to fail
'Cause this life is a farce
I can't breathe through this mask
Like a fool
So breathe on, sister, breathe on
From this oneself
Testify or tell
It's fooling us now
So let it be known
For what we believe in
I can see no reason
For it to fail
'Cause this life is a farce
I can't breathe through this mask
Like a fool
So breathe on, little sister, breathe on
Oh, so breathe on, little sister, like a fool
