[00:32.51] By the light of the LED display of the VCR recorder
[00:36.32] You kiss my neck, I whisper in your ear:"This is my downfall"
[00:39.30] As you squint and you grimace
[00:40.35] We both know your heart's not in it
[00:42.47]
[00:43.78] In the glow of a thousand fireflies
[00:45.76] In a travelodge en-suite
[00:47.00] They think the future's bright as halogen
[00:48.72] We know it's pretty bleak
[00:49.94] And I'm trying to be sexy
[00:51.33] Biting at the air that falls in front of me.
[00:54.06]
[01:13.10] The telegrams are more and more less detailed by the day
[01:16.67] And all the characters are strangers
[01:18.39] And the pubs have different names
[01:19.77] I tell a joke, I'd like to meet them
[01:21.30] But they'll loathe me and I'd hate them back
[01:23.63]
[01:24.74] Absence makes the heart grow fonder
[01:26.77] Fondness makes the absence longer
[01:28.11] Length loses my interest
[01:29.31] I'm a realist, I'm insatiable
[01:30.69] So, ten days until I fly
[01:32.42] But that was before your reply
[01:35.89]
[01:37.65] You said, "He got his teeth fixed"
[01:41.05] I'm gonna break them
[01:43.39] I've got a heart on fire
[01:46.27]
[01:47.70] You said, "He's got his sights set"
[01:50.97] I'm getting to ya
[01:53.82] I've got fists on fire
[01:56.55]
[01:57.64] And you feel terrified at the thought of being left behind
[02:02.67] Of losing everybody, the necessity of dying
[02:08.51] Oh, we kid ourselves, there's future in the ****ing
[02:13.40] But there is no ****ing future
[02:16.09] I'm just practising my accents,
[02:19.50] Picking at old sutures
[02:21.61]
[02:22.50] I taught myself the only way to vaguely get along in love
[02:24.99] Is to like the other slightly less than you get in return
[02:27.66] I keep feeling like I'm being under-cut
[02:31.70]
[02:32.62] Charlotte says it's more constructive than the one in Canada
[02:35.40] When you got drunk, ate loads of crisps
[02:37.53] And threw up by a football pitch
[02:38.90] I know it is, and really that's what worries me
[02:40.81] I feel like I should hurt
[02:43.67]
[02:46.00] You said, "He's got his teeth fixed"
[02:49.53] I'm gonna break them
[02:51.12] I've got a heart on fire
[02:54.05]
[02:55.52] He said he's got his sights set
[02:58.79] I'm getting to ya
[03:01.95] I've got fists on fire
[03:04.19]
[03:05.07] I cannot emphasise enough that my body is a
[03:07.71] Badly designed, poorly put together vessel
[03:10.20] Harbouring these diminishing, so-called vital organs
[03:13.40] Hope my heart goes first, I HOPE MY HEART GOES FIRST!
[03:17.70]
[03:19.95] And we are beautiful, we are doomed
[03:27.94]
