[Verse 1] We felt a chill from the breeze move in from the east London pat its own back Those with the means for the megaphone Will always provide us the soundtrack I started to diarise the coming of flies When gloom is descending So when it's back 'round again I know it's a false start and not an ending [Verse 2] Some days I struggle to move In elephant shoes, unwilling commuter Anxiety in my chest, heart under duress Taps out of sharpshooter Preoccupied now for days by nostalgia waves I hated the first time A gambler's fallacy: the more I repeat I won't be the punchline [Pre-Chorus] You on a lilo Are an island of the Pacific And then me, me, me, I am face down In a puddle on the High Street [Chorus] I got your initials inside a heart tattoo We two in vermillion, we two a lovers' coup I got your initials inside a heart tattoo We two in vermillion, we two a lovers' coup I know little (I know little) But I promise (But I promise) There's a slow, slow death if you want it If you want it [Verse 3] In time I will have to lie These memories are mine, not in fact my father's A schoolboy hero replaced, domestic disgrace A sad sack, a martyr We here are common as dirt Three lions on our shirt with high expectations Absolve this land of a Queen Who feasts while we wean a small, hopeless nation [Pre-Chorus] You on a lilo Are an island of the Pacific And then me, me, I am face down In a puddle on the High Street [Chorus] I got your initials inside a heart tattoo We two in vermillion, we two a lovers' coup I got your initials inside a heart tattoo We two in vermillion, we two a lovers' coup I know little (I know little) But I promise (But I promise) There's a slow, slow death if you want it Yeah, I want it
