lyrics: AND YOU

And you, broken-winged angel
How the sweet-grass you once trod still reeks.
And you, laminated lover
with forbidden fruit in your cheeks.

The two sweethearts outside
How you watch them kicking their shoes off in the rain,
And you finger the rewind
as you watch them do it all over again.

Well I know why we parted
Because before we started
I had been in love with somebody else.
You bled the walls, fled the ramparts
Whilst trumpet-calls and flowering-hearts
Proclaim you're bound to be by yourself.

The blue-hearted men
Well I guess they're looking for some sort of a name
And you call down to them
“It's not Peter, it's my teacher who's to blame.”

Well I know why we parted
Because before we started
You had been in love with somebody else.
You bled the walls, fled the ramparts
Whilst trumpet-calls and flowering-hearts
Proclaim you're bound to be by yourself

Even though you're in love with defeat,
Without that love you know you couldn't even cheat.

And you point to the stars
Scream out “Fuck's sake, they've seen it all before”
A few broken minutes pass, you say
'It ain't you it's just love that's a bore.'

Well I know why we parted
Because before we started
Someone had been in love with somebody else.
You bled the walls, fled the ramparts
Whilst trumpet-calls and flowering-hearts
Proclaim you're bound to be by yourself
Proclaim you're bound to be by yourself
Proclaim you're bound to be by yourself.
