lyrics

If I’d seen Michael Stipe when I was thirteen
I’d have been who I am twenty six by fourteen
You’d have been the perfect woman for me
Or at least, the man I thought I should’ve been

Show me 2013 and I’ll show you what could’ve been, from the outside looking in
Nowadays I’ll say anything, if it fits in an A B A B A B A B scheme
Zonal marking my points of interest
There’s a bit about the football
There’s a bit about The Milk-Eyed Mender
There’s a bit about a girl I dated
There’s a bit about how I met her

Ashes To Ashes
Bus to Brockley
Everybody’s laughing at me
Tell me who I’m supposed to kid

Incandescent at the sight of it all, when the sight of it all isn’t much of much at all
Castigated for what you’re saying, when what you’re saying isn’t much of much at all
Scratching so hard at your half moon tattoo
No time for Dead Weights, no room for you
No time for Dead Weights, no room for you

An unchained melody ties us together
An untrained memory scares me too
Who knew that addressing anything that made me feel so bad would make me feel so good?
And it’s it bonkers how we’re all just doing this thing
Desperate to feel the rain
