By the light of the LED display of the VCR recorder
|
You kiss my neck, I whisper in your ear
|
This is my downfall as you squint and you grimace
|
We both know your heart's not in it
|
|
In the glow of a thousand fireflies in a travelogue en-suite
|
They think the future's bright as halogen
|
We know it's pretty bleak and I'm trying to be sexy
|
Biting at the air that falls in front of me
|
|
The telegrams are more and more less detailed by the day
|
And all the characters are strangers and the pubs have different names
|
I tell a joke, I'd like to meet them
|
But they'll loathe me and I'd hate them back
|
|
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
|
Fondness makes the absence longer
|
Length loses my interest, I'm a realist, I'm insatiable
|
So ten days until I fly but that was before your reply
|
|
You said he got his teeth fixed
|
I'm gonna break them, I've got a heart on fire
|
You said he's got his sights set
|
I'm getting to ya, I've got fists on fire
|
And you feel terrified at the thought of being left behind
|
Of losing everybody, the necessity of dying
|
Oh, we kid ourselves, there's future in the fucking
|
But there is no fucking future
|
I'm just practicing my accents picking at old sutures
|
|
I taught myself the only way to vaguely get along in love
|
Is to like the other slightly less than you get in return
|
I keep feeling like I'm being under-cut
|
|
Charlotte says it's more constructive than the one in Canada
|
When you got drunk, ate loads of crisps and threw up by a football pitch
|
I know it is and really that's what worries me
|
I feel like I should hurt
|
|
You said he's got his teeth fixed
|
I'm gonna break them, I've got a heart on fire
|
He said he's got his sight set
|
I'm getting to ya, I've got fists on fire
|
|
I cannot emphasize enough that my body
|
Is a badly designed, poorly put together vessel
|
Harboring these diminishing so called vital organs
|
Hope my heart goes first, I hope my heart goes first
|
|
We are beautiful, we are doomed
|
