๐ Lyrics
We felt a chill from the breeze move
In from the east, London pat its own back
Those with the means for the
Megaphone will always provide us the soundtrack
I started to diarise the coming of flies
When gloom is descending
So when it's back 'round again
I know it's a false start and not an ending
Some days I struggle to move
In elephant shoes, unwilling commuter
Anxiety in my chest, heart under duress
Taps out of sharpshooter
Preoccupied now for days, by nostalgia waves
I hated the first time
A gambler's fallacy: the more I repeat
I won't be the punchline
You on a lilo
Are an island of the pacific
And then me, me, me, I am face down
In a puddle on the high street
I got your initials inside a heart tattoo
We two in vermilion, we two a lovers' coup
I got your initials inside a heart tattoo
We two in vermilion, we two a lovers' coup
I know little (I know little)
But I promise (but I promise)
There's a slow, slow death if you want it
If you want it
In time will I have to lie
These memories are mine, not in fact my father's
A schoolboy hero replaced, domestic disgrace
A sad sack, a martyr
We here are common as dirt
Three lions on our shirt with high expectations
Absolve this land of a Queen
Who feasts while we wean a small, hopeless nation
You on a lilo
Are an island of the pacific
And then me, me, I am face down
In a puddle on the high street
I got your initials inside a heart tattoo
We two in vermilion, we two a lovers' coup
I got your initials inside a heart tattoo
We two in vermilion, we two a lovers' coup
I know little (I know little)
But I promise (but I promise)
There's a slow, slow death if you want it
Yeah, I want it
In from the east, London pat its own back
Those with the means for the
Megaphone will always provide us the soundtrack
I started to diarise the coming of flies
When gloom is descending
So when it's back 'round again
I know it's a false start and not an ending
Some days I struggle to move
In elephant shoes, unwilling commuter
Anxiety in my chest, heart under duress
Taps out of sharpshooter
Preoccupied now for days, by nostalgia waves
I hated the first time
A gambler's fallacy: the more I repeat
I won't be the punchline
You on a lilo
Are an island of the pacific
And then me, me, me, I am face down
In a puddle on the high street
I got your initials inside a heart tattoo
We two in vermilion, we two a lovers' coup
I got your initials inside a heart tattoo
We two in vermilion, we two a lovers' coup
I know little (I know little)
But I promise (but I promise)
There's a slow, slow death if you want it
If you want it
In time will I have to lie
These memories are mine, not in fact my father's
A schoolboy hero replaced, domestic disgrace
A sad sack, a martyr
We here are common as dirt
Three lions on our shirt with high expectations
Absolve this land of a Queen
Who feasts while we wean a small, hopeless nation
You on a lilo
Are an island of the pacific
And then me, me, I am face down
In a puddle on the high street
I got your initials inside a heart tattoo
We two in vermilion, we two a lovers' coup
I got your initials inside a heart tattoo
We two in vermilion, we two a lovers' coup
I know little (I know little)
But I promise (but I promise)
There's a slow, slow death if you want it
Yeah, I want it
