If I held my breath on you
I would have died a thousand times
And if chewing was to show you how much I cared
I'd probably be wearing dentures by now
Said if I held my breath on you
I would have died a thousand times
And if chewing was to show you how much I cared
I'd probably be wearing dentures by now
Our promises broken
Nemesis is our token
You turn around
March on to your new home, home
Wherever you're goin' darling
Please don't you ever forget
To treat others the way you want to be treated
Remember your days are fully numbered
Just march on
March on
March on
If you held your breath on me
You would've died a million times
And if chewing was to show me how much you cared
You'd probably have swallowed your tongue by now
All I'm trying to say darling
Is that you know very well that I left her for you
I guess you're doing the same old, same thing to me now
Now these days
Hennessey dries my veins
As our genesis smiles back at me
Now heresey might be your new fate, faith
Whatever you've chosen to believe in darling
Don't you ever forget
To treat others the way you want to be treated
Remember your days are fully numbered
Treat others the way you want to be treated
Remember your days are fully numbered
Can't say anything for you no more
Nemesis is on the case, darling
Next time treat others the way you want to be treated
Otherwise
You'll get your punishment
And life ain't a bitch
Nemesis is
Nemesis is
Nemesis is
Nemesis is, is the mother of karma
karma
(Remember) karma
(Remember) karma
Remember, remember, remember
So long you run
Nemesis tells the story of a man who left his wife for another and now the other does the same to him. The man sees it as karma and a lesson learned - treat others as you would like to be treated. The song is now used as an intro song for The Morning Show and with success. He is making his US debut with a new EP called I Dream, I Smile, I Walk, I Cry. Nemesis is the opening.
Benjamin Clementine was born on December 7, 1988. He grew up in North London. His unique piano playing and charisma are especially appreciated. In addition, he has a hell of a voice that is also compared to that of Nina Simone and Antony Hegarty. "I had a bit of a crisis trying to figure out what I had done wrong in my past," Clementine shared. "In the end, the only thought I could think of at the time was the cliche phrase of treating others the way you want to be treated yourself. I wanted a good feel for this song and I deliberately named it Nemesis for the obvious reasons in Greek mythology." (Nemesis is the spirit of divine retribution).
