You're red and white stuff in a tight pink suit You look like an ape but you're still cute You got one tongue, two lungs and a heart full of loving blood And I can't believe that you truly are the product of an exploding star you're the best dressed collection of atoms and DNA You're a ball of light born of the hand of Aphrodite Boy I got it bad, you're the best accident I never had You, you are dust You're heat and light and lust and atoms and matter and I'm loving looking at you You, you are dust and we should timewarp thrust whilst robots rust coz all we are is heat and dust You're a tiger then a slave You're a teardrop in a crescent wave, you fade Back into the roaring blue The big lost plane You are only temporary A speck on a spot on a map of infinity A fleeting flutter of a strangers eye on a passing train I'm just a bag of skin holding my beating heart in Boy I got it bad, you're the best accident I never had You, you are dust You're heat and light and lust and atoms and matter and I'm loving looking at you You, you are dust and we should timewarp thrust whilst robots rust coz all we are is heat and dust Nothing upon the past has power Don't waste sand in your hourglass fretting Nobody had a crystal but it's all water over the - damn the man I'm who I am You, you are dust You're heat and light and lust and atoms and matter and I'm loving looking at you You, you are dust and we should timewarp thrust whilst robots rust coz all we are is heat and dust x 3 Nothing upon the past has power Don't waste sand in your hourglass fretting Nobody had a crystal but it's all water over the - damn the man I'm who I am

When you close your eyes for the last time Your soul it splits like butterflies You cannot deny there's beauty in dying Fear and hurt dissolve You're a million people young and old and you cannot hide From the lightening, thunder, shudder in the cupboard any more Now you're light in the sky You're brand new, free to be what you dreamed you could be When you were down here with me So goodnight not goodbye I'll keep the radio at my bedside and in the static I can hear you say I. L. Y If life is currency you spent yours on knock knock jokes and penny sweets, gave yourself away with every heartbeat Now you're free from Lightening, thunder, shudder in the cupboard any more Now you're light in the sky You're brand new, free to be what you dreamed you could be When you were down here with me All the love you earned, the pills you swallowed Never stop the hurt But you and I, you and I can wander on the Weston pier Now you're the breeze on the water You're brand new, free to be what you wanted to be When you were down here with me. You're born new, free to be what you dreamed you could be When you were down here with me V.V.

I stayed over and you kissed me on the head in the morning I could be in your bed for a week talking eating and yawning No I don't know you that well but I intend to get to You haven't seen my secret side but I intend to let you... Into the deep, I talk in my sleep, I have dreams like the rest do but the best one yet is... You make the best fried breakfast in the whole of Dalston but I'm way out West writing songs on the Devon coast and I'm keen to see what we could be if we put our heads together but I'm only slightly shy to do so, coz there's no question of whether I'll Fall into you, but I swear not to bruise I've got scars like the rest do and I'll never be brand new I've got two left feet and I sing in the street I'm often easily defeated and I'm messy when I eat I've been real lost and I've danced poles I've got bad habits and rabbit holes and I've got Secrets like the rest do But the best one yet is... you As this grows, I realise that all my scars and downfalls were only arrows. As this grows, I realise that all my scars were only arrows.

Dear Hilary I know you think you're hated but you're misunderstood Dear Hilary I know you change your body just to try and change your mind for good "It's a good idea" that's what you want to hear when you're surrounded by your minions of 'yes' men. So dear, I will be cavalier and say "If you don't change now, then when? It's the fear of recollecting, drying tears in the mirror in the morning sun. It's the fear of facing your own face when you can't bear to look without your makeup on. So yes it's tough and guess what, you're just enough and guess what, you've never cracked a mirror love. Dear Hilary you're painting on a smile but you're still the darkest blue I see beneath the deep veneer, and I look a hell of a lot like you So take it all off and shimmy what you've got, fill your head box with loving care. We were born to die, not shine in formaldehyde in our underwear. And there's a sinking in my stomach when I think you might be hung up on the same as me Looking at each other in the mirror, we're the boss of who we want to be So yes it's tough and guess what, you're just enough and guess what you've never cracked a mirror love It's the fear of recollecting drying tears in the mirror in the morning sun It's the fear of facing your own face when you don't dare to look without your makeup on So yes it's rough, but guess what, you're just enough and INSIDE IS THE STUFF THE GOOD MAKEUP YOU'RE MADE OF and guess what, you've never cracked a mirror love

You got it, I want it I feel it, the fever It's not in my head yeah I know that I need ya Coz their hands are cold and I want yours to hold now I miss your fire and our flaming rows Somebody is here with me and it's not you I share my lonely bed with them but it's not you I'm sorry I said see you later Come back radiator You kept me warm like a tropical storm hot-headed and better in bed than the norm Like summer to touch, I'd sizzle so much I miss your paprika, your hot chicken tikka Now somebody is cooking for me and it's not you Somebody then sleeps next to me, it's not you I'm sorry that I said I hate ya Come back radiator A hot water bottle, a bike at full throttle, an engine between my legs So hot when I was on it, you could've cooked eggs on the bonnet Now somebody is here with me but it's not you I share my lonely bed with them but it's not you They're nice and sweet to me just like iced tea but it's an igloo My bed without you Somebody is here with me and it's not you I share my thoughts and bed with them but it's not you I'm sorry I said see you later I'm sorry that I said I hate ya and dropped you like a hot potato Come back radiator I'm sorry I said see you later Come back radiator
