| [00:32.51] |
By the light of the LED display of the VCR recorder |
| [00:36.32] |
You kiss my neck, I whisper in your ear:"This is my downfall" |
| [00:39.30] |
As you squint and you grimace |
| [00:40.35] |
We both know your heart's not in it |
| [00:42.47] |
|
| [00:43.78] |
In the glow of a thousand fireflies |
| [00:45.76] |
In a travelodge en-suite |
| [00:47.00] |
They think the future's bright as halogen |
| [00:48.72] |
We know it's pretty bleak |
| [00:49.94] |
And I'm trying to be sexy |
| [00:51.33] |
Biting at the air that falls in front of me. |
| [00:54.06] |
|
| [01:13.10] |
The telegrams are more and more less detailed by the day |
| [01:16.67] |
And all the characters are strangers |
| [01:18.39] |
And the pubs have different names |
| [01:19.77] |
I tell a joke, I'd like to meet them |
| [01:21.30] |
But they'll loathe me and I'd hate them back |
| [01:23.63] |
|
| [01:24.74] |
Absence makes the heart grow fonder |
| [01:26.77] |
Fondness makes the absence longer |
| [01:28.11] |
Length loses my interest |
| [01:29.31] |
I'm a realist, I'm insatiable |
| [01:30.69] |
So, ten days until I fly |
| [01:32.42] |
But that was before your reply |
| [01:35.89] |
|
| [01:37.65] |
You said, "He got his teeth fixed" |
| [01:41.05] |
I'm gonna break them |
| [01:43.39] |
I've got a heart on fire |
| [01:46.27] |
|
| [01:47.70] |
You said, "He's got his sights set" |
| [01:50.97] |
I'm getting to ya |
| [01:53.82] |
I've got fists on fire |
| [01:56.55] |
|
| [01:57.64] |
And you feel terrified at the thought of being left behind |
| [02:02.67] |
Of losing everybody, the necessity of dying |
| [02:08.51] |
Oh, we kid ourselves, there's future in the ****ing |
| [02:13.40] |
But there is no ****ing future |
| [02:16.09] |
I'm just practising my accents, |
| [02:19.50] |
Picking at old sutures |
| [02:21.61] |
|
| [02:22.50] |
I taught myself the only way to vaguely get along in love |
| [02:24.99] |
Is to like the other slightly less than you get in return |
| [02:27.66] |
I keep feeling like I'm being under-cut |
| [02:31.70] |
|
| [02:32.62] |
Charlotte says it's more constructive than the one in Canada |
| [02:35.40] |
When you got drunk, ate loads of crisps |
| [02:37.53] |
And threw up by a football pitch |
| [02:38.90] |
I know it is, and really that's what worries me |
| [02:40.81] |
I feel like I should hurt |
| [02:43.67] |
|
| [02:46.00] |
You said, "He's got his teeth fixed" |
| [02:49.53] |
I'm gonna break them |
| [02:51.12] |
I've got a heart on fire |
| [02:54.05] |
|
| [02:55.52] |
He said he's got his sights set |
| [02:58.79] |
I'm getting to ya |
| [03:01.95] |
I've got fists on fire |
| [03:04.19] |
|
| [03:05.07] |
I cannot emphasise enough that my body is a |
| [03:07.71] |
Badly designed, poorly put together vessel |
| [03:10.20] |
Harbouring these diminishing, so-called vital organs |
| [03:13.40] |
Hope my heart goes first, I HOPE MY HEART GOES FIRST! |
| [03:17.70] |
|
| [03:19.95] |
And we are beautiful, we are doomed |
| [03:27.94] |
