Margot

Sun kills the night, a sight kills a sigh
To affordable life I retire, to an arable life I aspire

But Margot laughs
cos she understands that all we have
is a mess that I would do owt to hide
and it hurts to lie

Sometimes we stall and fall onto gold
To a turbulent time full of missing days and warm white wine
Of setting suns and rising fears
Of setting suns and rising fears

But Margot laughs
cos she understands that all we have
is a chance to make an informed rehash
and it hurts to lie

cos she understands that all we have
is a mess that I would do owt to hide
and it hurts to lie

(It was a strange night, we left at twilight and took a train down to the arse of London town We entered spryly but played to twenty disinterested people there to see someone else We left in darkness, laden pack horses, for a consoling 'never mind' sort of after drink We went below street, down escalators and unending tiled passages)

Was an only child I know
You don't have to be alone
I wanted someone to make me woman and not a girl
I never found one
I never found one to do it
You do it

You pulled the curtain from off the mountain and made me see
That I had found one
That I had found one to do it
That I had found one to do it
You do it

There's so few in my eyes
There's so few in my life

We paid no price for our heart prize
To make us shine we stole light from someone's eyes
Happy sin of mine

Click my fingers under the water, only I know
I wish for you. Do you wish for me?

We're all broken hearted

I never thought, I never believed I wouldn't win
I have to do a little more

But we're all broken hearted

For what the heart pours into shouldn't feel like servitude
It's fight or flight, amass the will
I've only got as much as anyone

So close your eyes and tell yourself
To fall in love with something else

How can you slaughter the soul's very seed?
How can you water this work-hungry weed?
How will you know when your old self is gone?
You'll know, you'll know as much as anyone

So close your eyes and count your breath
And cross your heart and hope to live

But after everything is said
There's evidence you're more than dead
And if the war destroys the ears
We tried, we tried as much as anyone

So close your eyes and tell yourself
To fall in love with something else
Just close your eyes and count your breath
And cross your heart and hope to live
