I Close My Eyes Lyrics by David Thomas Broughton

Crippling Lack

2016

I know you can hold the beat of another man's heart
I know you can hold the beat of another man's heart
Just as I can feel the fire of another man's fist
And I know that there are things that I should start
And I assure you it's not another's boat I harbour
Each characteristic of mine, that curls the very spine, of this love, of these lives that have entwined is duly proffered in each and every song
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I exist, permanently, under a cloud of intention
(Under a cloud of intention)
Under a cloud of intention (Under a cloud of intention)
(Under a cloud of intention)
Under a cloud of intention
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
Eyes and it all goes wrong
Eyes and it all goes wrong
Just as I can feel the fire of another man's fist
Sisters of sister's friends become the fleck of terror
In your future revery and your half-sleep dreams
Sisters of sister's friends become the fleck of terror
In your future revery and your half-sleep dreams
Tongue the roof of your mouth
Tongue the roof of your mouth
Your fists would find a punchbag if it were present
If it were present
My attitude to love is like my teenage attitude to sex: I know what it is and I know I have potential
I know what it is and I know I have potential
And I know I have potential
But I don't know, I don't know precisely where it goes
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
And I know that there are things that I should start
And I assure you it's not another's boat I harbour
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
Sisters of sister's friends become the fleck of terror
In your future revery and your half-sleep dreams
Revery and your half-sleep dreams
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
I close my eyes and it all goes wrong
Eyes and it all goes, eyes and it all goes
