Stand Guard Songtext
von Bob Mould

Say yeah, ooh

Stand guard over what is mine
I stand guard day and night
To watch over me and mine
Well, I keep at a distance, it suits me just fine
I need no assistance, I stand guard all the time
I meant it as a threat, as a promise you can keep
Don′t want no interference, staying in with my sleep
Oh, in my sleep, in my sleep, my sleep, my sleep

Stand guard over sea and land
Watch what they've done to this earth
I don′t need no master plan
When all the consequences
Fall in our way by selfish reward
I feel an obligation
Sometimes I'm not quite sure what it's for
But there′s got to be some reason that we all keep on living
More often than not we need this earth
With at least two hands for all this love I′m just giving


I stand guard over what is rightfully mine
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Watch all this beauty disintegrating
To stand guard is not enough
Makes me feel like I'm waiting for something horrendous to happen
But I stand guard over my family and friends

It′s all that I can do
To stand here and watch how this lifetime ends

I've never felt as much as I feel for you now
I′m not about to stand here and watch this whole world
Bringing you down, I see how it brings you down
But I will stand guard over you
I will stand guard over you
Say yeah, I will stand guard over you
I see how it brings you down

I see how it brings you down
I can see how it brings you down
I can see how it brings you down
I can see how it brings you down

I will stand guard over you


I will stand over you
I will stand over you

I can see how it brings you down, yeah

I can see how
I can see how it brings you down, oh yeah
Oh yeah, I can see how it brings you down
