Fukd ID #2- Arab Strap

Rocket, Take Your Turn
HAVE A LOOK IN THE FRIDGE AND SEE WHAT HE'S GO
GET IN THE BATH AND I'LL TELL YOU THE LOT
WE'RE GROWN MEN,
WE SHOULD BE RESPECTABLE.
BUT TO FUCK WITH THAT,
LET'S MAKE A SPECTACLE.
KEEP CLIMBING,
YOU'LL SEE EVERYTHING.
TWICE 'ROUND THE BLOCK.
IT'S OKAY, SAY ANYTHING.
WE HIDE IN TOILETS,
WE HIDE IN A CORNER,
BUT IT'S NOT OVER YET SO SOMEONE PLEASE WARN HER.
I COULD TRY ANYTHING WHEN I FEEL LIKE THIS.
WITH PART-TIME FRIENDS THAT I COULD NEVER MISS.
SPILL THE GOSSIP,
YOU KNOW IT'S ALWAYS TOPICAL.
FROM WHERE WE SIT TONIGHT IT SEEMS TROPICAL.
WORK'S BEGUN,
THE TAXI'S LATE.
I SHOULD FEEL LIKE A HIPPY BUT ALL I FEEL IS HATE.
LET THEM SAY WHAT THEY WANT,
THE COULD NEVER MAKE IT STICK.
'CAUSE EVERYONE TAKES A TURN AT BEING A DICK.


Blackness
DRIVE THROUGH THE FIELDS TONIGHT.
STOP ON OUR USUAL HILL.
TURN UP THE NEW TUNES.
ADMIT IT, YOU NEED HER STILL.
SPEED UP WHEN I COME UP.
SHE LAUGHS IN TIME WITH THE TRACK.
TONIGHT IS A SCHOOL NIGHT AND IT'S TIME WE GOT HER BACK.
RACE THROUGH THE TREES.
BRAVE THE BACK ROADS WITH EASE.
THEY COULDN'T CATCH US TONIGHT.
ON THE BEACH AT THE DOCK.
YOU BRING THE CANS AND WE'LL TALK.
GRAB ME IN CASE I TAKE FLIGHT.
IGNORANCE IS THE WORST PART.
SHE WASN'T OUT ON FRIDAY NIGHT.
I JUST WANTED TO CATCH HER EYE,
THEN IGNORE HER - PROVE I'M ALRIGHT.
AND IT TOOK HOURS TO WALK HOME.
AND I HAD A FEW ON MY OWN.
I WANTED TO HEAR HER,
BUT HE ANSWERED THE PHONE.
WHEN SHE STARTED TO WEAR MAKE-UP,
NEW CLOTHES AND NEW HAIR,
THAT'S WHEN HER SEX-DRIVE DIED.
DRIVE ME UP TO MY DOOR, YOU KNOW I'VE DONE IT BEFORE.
AT LEAST I'LL KNOW I'VE TRIED.
JUST KEEP YOUR FOOT DOWN AND IT'LL ALL BE FINE.
IF WE CAN KEEP UP WITH A BROKEN LEG.
THE CORPSES WE SEE ARE JUST EMPTY BODIES.
AS WE DISMISS ALL THE BROKEN HEARTS AS SLAGS.
SLOW DOWN WHEN I COME DOWN -
THIS IS THE ONLY LOVE.
JUST US AND THE BRIGHT GREEN SKY,
GLOWING AND PULSING ABOVE.
