Monks of Lindisfarne Lyrics by Arliston

Disappointment Machine

2024

[Verse 1]
There was a countdown that started when I met you
In my defence, I thought we're just friends
There was that text I sent to your phone
I was so hopeless, said nothing at all
Man, I just rambled about the monks of Lindisfarne
[Chorus]
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I never wanna feel like that
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I never wanna feel like that again
Ooh, I didn't mean anything when I said what I said
I don't think, I don't think, ooh, I didn't mean anything
[Verse 2]
I see you in doorways circled in light
Somewhere in movies at the back to the right
Why do I do it when I know? I must know it isn't you
And I was in bits, babe, I was a child
Nobody's perfect all of the time
But I wasn't half that and I know I wasn't quarter too
[Chorus]
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I never wanna feel like that
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I never wanna feel like that again
Ooh, I didn't mean anything when I said what I said
I don't think, I don't think, ooh, I didn't mean anything
[Outro]
Tell me I don't need it, that I'm better off
Tell me I don't need it, that I'm better off
Tell me I don't need it, I'm better off
Two taps and I'll know
Where the hell we smoking now
You would think that it's a carnival-al
It's the timing that just crushed our coal
Standing, standing alone
(Standing, standing alone)
