We Both Go Down Together Lyrics
Artist(Band):The Decemberists
Review The Song (11)Print the Lyrics
Here on these cliffs of Dover
so high you can't see over
and while your head is spinning
hold tight it's just beginning

you come from parents' wanton
a childhood rough and rotten
I come from wealth and beauty
untouched by work or duty

and oh, my love, my love.
and oh, my love, my love.
We both go down together.

I found you, a tattooed tramp
A dirty daughter from the labor camps
I laid you down in the grass of a clearing
You wept, but your soul was willing

and oh, my love. my love.
and oh, my love. my love.
We both go down together.

And my parents will never consent to this love
But I hold your hand

Meet me on my vast veranda
My sweet untouched Miranda
and while the seagulls are crying
we fall but our souls are flying

and oh, my love. my love.
and oh, my love. my love.
and oh, my love. my love.
and oh, my love. my love.
We both go down together.

Review about We Both Go Down Together

deeply satisfying... | Reviewer: Raindrop | 6/30/2008

Forbidden love, whether in songs, movies, or books, has always fascinated and entranced me. It's so exciting to read, listen or watch and often ends tragically. I'm deeply affected by music and my best friend and I often listen to it together. Another band we like is Death Cab for Cutie, you should check it out if you like this one.



The Decemberists | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/2/2008

this song is amazing. i am really in to the decemberists and this is one of their best. all of meloys writings are beautiful, though the themes are all quite similar (O, Valencia! is another one of the best)



Painting | Reviewer: Robert | 11/21/2007

Meloy uses music as an artist would use a paintbrush. The lyrics are his paint and it swirls about in your head.



down together | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/28/2007

Meloy seems to do a lot with the forbidden love theme. its present here, and in O' Valencia! and also there is some portion in Eli, the Barrow Boy. Very Romeo and Juliet-esque. Still, even given the repetition of an ancient theme, the artistry and craft of these amazing songs is untarnished.



The Decemberists | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/7/2007

Pretty much everything that Colin Meloy sings or rights is beautiful. Since we were all sharing opinions, I'm going to have to say that "Here I Dreamt I Was An Architecht" features some touching vocal work.



It is about suicide. | Reviewer: Miles Pieri | 8/7/2007

Yes, it's about a joint suicide - They jump from the white cliffs of Dover (a popular suicide spot on the English south coast). Also, given Colin Meloy's love of Morrissey, this song reminds me of Morrissey's 'Angel, Angel, we both go down together'.



What the band says the song is about... | Reviewer: What's it about? | 6/1/2007

I went and saw the Decemberists in concert at the Sasquatch Music Festival and right before they played this song they said,
"Here's a song... about joint suicide!"



wow | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/20/2007

i don't remember the last time i felt about a song the way i feel about this song. truly incredible



this is ... | Reviewer: Ser | 4/17/2007

This is not a beautifull song. this so SO much more. the feeling it gives me is just great.



<3 | Reviewer: Sarah | 10/19/2005

This is such a beautiful song. Sad yet, happy at the same time. That's as best I can describe the way it makes me feel.
