Suggested Track: Breezeblocks

Lyrics
She may contain the urge to run away
But hold her down with soggy clothes
And breezeblocks
Cetirizine, your fever's gripped me again
Never kisses, all you ever send are fullstops

Do you know where the wilds things go
They go along to take your honey
Break down, now weep, build up, breakfast now
Let's eat my love, my love, my love

Muscle to muscle and toe to toe
The fear has gripped me but here I go
My heart sinks as I jump up
Your hand grips hand as my eyes shut

Do you know where the wilds things go
They go along to take your honey
Break down, now weep, build up, breakfast now
Let's eat my love, my love, my love

She bruises, coughs, she splutters, pistol shots
But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks
She's morphine, queen of my vaccine my love, my love

Muscle to muscle and toe to toe
The fear has gripped me but here I go
My heart sinks as I jump up
Your hand grips hand as my eyes shut

She may contain the urge to run away
But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks
Germolene disinfect the scene my love, my love, my love
Please don't go, I love you so... My lovely

Please don't go, Please don't go
I love you so, I love you so
Please don't go, Please don't go
I love you so, I love you so
Please break my heart
(bis)
