Shut out, pimpled and angry
                               
I quietly tied all my guts into knots
                    
Gave up trying to make 'em
                                     
Figured it'd take 'em too long to look up

C#minor                                              
And besides, it was undeniably clear to me, I dunno why
           C#minor                                 
When every other part of love seemed locked behind shutters
      
I knew the worthless dregs we've always been

                              
Lucked out, found my favourite record
                              
Lying in wait at the Birmingham Mall
                                    
The songs that I heard, the occasional book
                            
Were the only fun I ever took
                         
And I got on with making myself

                                  
Now the trick is just making yourself
                                              
But when they're parking their cars on your chest
                                       
You've still got a view of the summer sky
                                                            
To make it hurt twice when your restless body caves to it's whim
                                 
And suddenly struggles to take flight

Repeat Intro

                          
Three thousand miles north-east
                                                         
I left all my friends at the morning bus stop shaking their heads
                                                
What kind of life you dream of? You're allergic to love
                                   C#minor
Yes I know but I must say in my own defense
                                          
It's been undeniably dear to me, I dunno why
            C#minor                                 
When every other part of love seemed locked behind shutters
    
I knew the worthless dregs we are
The selfless, loving saints we are
                                         
The melting, sliding dice we've always been





Enjoy!
