Track: Get Better

Lyrics
Hallelujah
I'm listening to a recording of you sleeping next to me
A cappella
I'm listening to you cover Elliot Smith's "Angeles"
It's these times I'll need if you go
It's these times I'll need if you go, so

Get better, my darling
I know you will
Get better, my darling
I know you will
Get better

I'm drawn to the motorway
The cold whoosh of trucks passing
This nighttime under sodium light
The orange spread is soul-quietening
A younger you and a younger me
Meeting at The Serpentine
I am yours, you are mine

Happy birthday
Staff smuggled in a card I made
It rests under your pillow
When out of ICU
You'll cringe at all the 'I love you's
The card retired the life of one biro
At this time, I wanted you to know
At this time, I wanted you to know

Get better, my darling
I hope you will
Get better, my darling
I hope you will
Get better

I'll start the day with tiramisu
Raise a spoon to frontline workers
An underfunded principle
They risk all to be there for us
A younger you and a younger me
Meeting at The Serpentine
I am yours, you are mine

You were the baker
I'll christen this new era
With the smell of freshly baked bread
Your Nutella, I'll keep it in the cellar
You were always a fan of that spread
Six months on, there's a car crash outside
The fire brigade using the jaws of life
No flush at night to sound your return
I still pretend you're only out of sight

Front garden bouquet, I threw it at the fire brigade
I was admonished and told to go back inside
From the living room window
I stand and watch the white sheet go
Over the family car and I close my eyes
I still pretend you're only out of sight in another room
Smiling at your phone
I still pretend you're only out of sight in another room
Smiling at your phone
I still pretend you're only out of sight in another room
Smiling at your phone
I still pretend you're only out of sight in another room
Smiling at your phone
I still pretend

A younger me, a younger you
Meeting at The Serpentine
The beginning of spring, you wore those yellow ripped jeans
Your look defined my 2009
Your shyness stoked my boldness
"Shall we go in?", I smiled
Your hand warmed walking through the gallery

(Get better)
I know I will
(Get better)
My darling, I know I will

	alt-J – Every Other Freckle

	alt-J (Ft. GoldLink) – Last Year (Terrace Martin Version)
	Last Year might not seem like well-suited for a hip-hop remix with its slow, drained whisper and melancholy subject, but Terrace Martin and GoldLink found a way to make it work
	alt-J – Philadelphia
	“Philadelphia is a story about the demise of a person. They’re so discombobulated, they don’t know that they’re dying; but, they’re sort of having flashbacks to their life before
	alt-J – Fitzpleasure
	“Fitzpleasure,” the album’s most frenetic and even schizophrenic composition, jumps between Gregorian chant to Afropop-tinged dubstep to ethereal electronica yet never feels
	alt-J – Something Good
	A perfect taster of why Alt-J won the fiery acclaim of the Mercury Prize, Something Good is a mix of ghostly harmonies, shuffling drums and folk guitars that should be pretentious.
	alt-J (Ft. HEX & Paigey Cakey) – Adeline (ADP Version)
	[Intro: Joe Newman] / Ooh, my Adeline / Ooh, down in Tasmania / [Verse 1: HEX] / Oh, yeah / Mask on your face, masquerade, ball / Show what’s beneath, see the smoke, when you leave
