lyrics
I raise my game
Pheasants and deer
Animal husbandry
You don’t know what you mean to me
Hands soaked in white spirits
Rough enough to light matches
The catch is the when it enters the blood stream
Flips co-ordination and you can’t catch things
Cold water stream
Cold walls in the kitchen
Cold and damp feet
Cold heart
Cold frozen ground
Icicles in the pantry
Cold and numb hands
Cold heart
Said I’d make a new start
Forget the city
The pruned parks and cut grass
All the earnest artworks
Politely resigned from the committee
Avoiding all investigations
Let’s just stay calm
No one asked why?
But I didn’t seek questions
A few said goodbye
But I was not listening
At first the birds wake you
But it doesn’t take long
To feel like you belong
Got a dog, we swim in the lake
Say up late and read,
although the readings just me
You don’t know what you mean to me
Stay calm, is it better not to chance your arm
While I wait for a change in the weather
The only think holding me together is barometric pressure
Cold water stream
Cold walls in the kitchen
Cold and damp feet
Cold heart
Cold frozen ground
Icicles in the pantry
Cold and numb hands
Cold heart
It can change with the turn of a lock
A mountain range only stores secrets for so long
It can change with the ring of a phone
The whispers in the trees reflect your own
I raise my game
Pheasants and deer
Animal husbandry
You don’t know what you mean to me
Pheasants and deer
Animal husbandry
You don’t know what you mean to me
Hands soaked in white spirits
Rough enough to light matches
The catch is the when it enters the blood stream
Flips co-ordination and you can’t catch things
Cold water stream
Cold walls in the kitchen
Cold and damp feet
Cold heart
Cold frozen ground
Icicles in the pantry
Cold and numb hands
Cold heart
Said I’d make a new start
Forget the city
The pruned parks and cut grass
All the earnest artworks
Politely resigned from the committee
Avoiding all investigations
Let’s just stay calm
No one asked why?
But I didn’t seek questions
A few said goodbye
But I was not listening
At first the birds wake you
But it doesn’t take long
To feel like you belong
Got a dog, we swim in the lake
Say up late and read,
although the readings just me
You don’t know what you mean to me
Stay calm, is it better not to chance your arm
While I wait for a change in the weather
The only think holding me together is barometric pressure
Cold water stream
Cold walls in the kitchen
Cold and damp feet
Cold heart
Cold frozen ground
Icicles in the pantry
Cold and numb hands
Cold heart
It can change with the turn of a lock
A mountain range only stores secrets for so long
It can change with the ring of a phone
The whispers in the trees reflect your own
I raise my game
Pheasants and deer
Animal husbandry
You don’t know what you mean to me
