lyrics
I barely remember
all those nights in Sheffield before I got fat
I'd happily intervene
in night club dust ups to restore the calm
shaking the bouncers off my arm
but when she went away
I'd refresh my emails twenty times a day
the dial-up tone's an alien tongue
the biology of anxiety
cortisol, ACTH, the reason why my stomach aches
(when this world began, it was heavens plan, there should be a girl, for every single man)
Always request read receipts
check inbox, check inbox
Sometimes you can live too close to a beer-off
calculating ratios of percentage to pounds
sweet memories of spooning in a room half a world away
but how soon will it dawn, what you missed while you swooned?
The terrace rows look like skyscrapers felled
from the bowling green snow where I sprawl surrendered
after a few drams too many
cos you've told me the distance
has grown further in your heart
and the nothing i have to offer you
is no longer what you want.
(when this world began, it was heavens plan, there should be a girl, for every single man, to my great regret, someone has upset, heavens pretty programme)
all those nights in Sheffield before I got fat
I'd happily intervene
in night club dust ups to restore the calm
shaking the bouncers off my arm
but when she went away
I'd refresh my emails twenty times a day
the dial-up tone's an alien tongue
the biology of anxiety
cortisol, ACTH, the reason why my stomach aches
(when this world began, it was heavens plan, there should be a girl, for every single man)
Always request read receipts
check inbox, check inbox
Sometimes you can live too close to a beer-off
calculating ratios of percentage to pounds
sweet memories of spooning in a room half a world away
but how soon will it dawn, what you missed while you swooned?
The terrace rows look like skyscrapers felled
from the bowling green snow where I sprawl surrendered
after a few drams too many
cos you've told me the distance
has grown further in your heart
and the nothing i have to offer you
is no longer what you want.
