[Verse 1]
I know that's not you on the bus 'cause you always take taxis
So the thought that I'd see you in London is just a fake fantasy
I wish you hadn't said that to my heart when you took that away from me
Well that's in the past like I'll never see who's in the backseat
[Pre-Chorus]
And I hate your reasoning
Take what you need from my past
Construct a pretty story about a first love
But you'd never have touched my heart if you thought it would mean progress
So take what you need from the past
And construct those new moments
[Chorus]
And it's you
I didn’t think that I’d have to say
But I miss you and think of you almost every single day
And it's you
I thought I would be braver
But I've missed you too long
My heart flipped to a screensaver
To a screensaver
[Verse 2]
Put me in your book when you inevitably make it to fame
Just make sure you're proxy
Make sure to use my fake name
Call me H*tler, no one will notice the fucking difference
Call it Stalingrad, starve them out, this time you’ll write the history books
[Pre-Chorus]
But I love your reasoning
Take what you need from my past
We'll try again
We'll pretend this could last
You can touch my heart, make sure it’s dead
You know you'll never make progress
Cause the spark inside me has gone
I'm just a two-chambered coke-head
[Chorus]
But it's you
Didn't think that I'd have to say
But darling, I miss you and think of you almost every single day
And it's you
I thought I would be braver
But you left me too long
My heart switched to a screensaver
To a screensaver
[Outro]
I'm just your screensaver

Goodnight

[Verse 1]
You talk about habits
Boy I can name a few
But I don't bloody understand it
Is it chemical reactions or trained in two?
[Verse 2]
When you die
When it's time
When you die
Who'll hold your hand to that goodnight?
[Verse 3]
I hope you're alright
I hope you're alright
I hope you're alright
I hope you're alright
I hope you're alright

[Verse 1]
He never had cool stories
He doesn't make your heart beat
Used to love his mystery
But now he's just exhausting
Another day spent just laying in his room
The stench of incense
And some undelivered food
[Chorus]
And she thought
"What if he thinks I'm the one?And I'll be forced to rot away
With him and his obsessions
With trivial things
Like the amount of fucking love hearts I finish a text message with"
[Verse 2]
And when you hold his hands
It doesn't feel like flying
And when you take his breath away
He might as well be dying
And you're dying to breathe
You're trapped in his cage
And it's shrinking
[Chorus]
And she thought
"What if he just never leaves?
Or if he doesn't get the message?
And he doesn't hear my pleas?"
So she just started screaming
[Outro]
"Why can't he just bore me to death?"
"Why can't he just bore me to death?"
"Oh, why can't he just bore me to death?"
"Why can't he just bore me to death?"
"Oh, why can't he just bore me to death?"
"Why can't he just bore me to death?"
"Oh, Why can't he just bore me to death?"

For Memories

[Verse 1]
We all move on
Some faster than others
We all know
We all sacrifice
In a bath late in the evening
Building up sorrow
[Chorus]
But I can't say that I
Wasted my time
'Cause I'm built by you
And I can't say that I
Am glad it is over
'Cause that wouldn't be true
So thank you
Oh, thank you
[Verse 2]
We both remember
That day in the summer
When you were sat on me
And we cried
Oh, how we cried
In that moment
We've never been so happy
[Chorus]
But I can't say that I
Wasted my time
'Cause I'm built by you
And I can't say that I
Am glad it is over
'Cause that wouldn't be true
So thank you
Oh, thank you
All I can say is thank you
[Outro]
But I can't say that I
Won't miss you

[Intro]
Yeah, I'm recording
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
Bouncer greets us at the door
He can tell we've been here before
So he lets us pass
And we climb up 15 flights of stairs
And find that spot in the corner just over there
[Verse 2]
It's only 6:30 but we're starting to drink
I'm ordering the usual
I think I need a change of pace
London's bursting at the seams
It's not quite the place I hoped I'd be
[Chorus]
It's white wine in a Wetherspoons
It's fine dining with cheap perfume
It's country walks down the motorway
How many drugs have you done today?
[Verse 3]
'Cause concrete sculptures and broken glass
It's the lamp posts who guide our paths
Because the moon can't get in
And the clouds hang heavy
Blocking out his pursuit
And booze hangs limply on our rental suits
[Verse 4]
'Cause we're fires, we're burning bright
Breaking bottles and starting fights
But the evening has other plans
Run as they pull up with two more vans
[Chorus]
It's white wine in a Wetherspoons
It's fine dining with cheap perfume
It's country walks down the motorway
How many drugs have you done today?
[Bridge]
But I won't fuss
I'll let you pass
No, I won't fuss
I'll let you pass
[Outro]
'Cause it's only white wine in a Wetherspoons
Fine dining with cheap perfume
DLR closed due to workers' strikes
God knows how I'll get home tonight

[Verse 1]
I lost the passion that comes with living
Since I started university
I took a geography course to learn the datelines
And maybe use a sextant
But now I just press facsimiles
And you're exactly who you wanted to be
That's what you said
'Cause you wanna watch TV and sleep all day and lay in bed, but
You're forgetting that I've got to go to work and eat my food
And pay my rent and reproduce and feed those kids
And maybe use a sextant
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't miss you
I miss the thought of what we were
[Chorus]
This is the part where I shut up and let you infest my brain
Wrap your arms around my cortex, dig you in and let you drain
You'll never get rid of me, oh, I'm like a fucking disease
I'll make a home in your gut
'Cause it's somewhere warm to sleep
[Verse 2]
What was your thought when you realised
You'll never feel naive love again?
Was it pain or was it sickness?
Were you proud of who you'd been?
The shyness waiting for his phone calls
Replaced by apathy 'n' dating apps
You held his hands, it felt like flying
Now he's just another man
You'd rather he was inside than beside you
But he's talking marriage and a future
He's picking a lock he doesn't go into
Less knife in a wound, he's a suture
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't miss you
I miss the thought of what we were
[Chorus]
This is the part where I shut up and let you infest my brain
But it's okay, it's a strategy to ensure I remain
You'll never get rid of me, well, I'm like a fucking disease
I'll make a home in your gut
'Cause it's somewhere warm to sleep
[Bridge]
It's okay
It's okay
[Outro]
Eat my rent and eat my food
And eat my dues and eat those kids
And maybe use a sextant

[Intro]
Woo-wee!
Woo!
[Verse 1]
First and foremost
Oh, let it be said, my dear
I was gonna wait for you
So this is not an act of spite
It's a visceral coming-to
She wrote an album
And that’s something that I can't do
But what I can do is spit the truth
And it all leads back to you
[Verse 2]
Secondly, I know I haven't written much
You know the way I can be
Tonight, I'm fucking drunk
So it's all gonna be about me
Take a seat, pull up a chair
Give me one beat to fill my glass
I've lost a piece of me in you
But you've lost all your past
[Chorus]
Is he better than me?
Has he seen more to this life?
Can he smoke more? Can he fuck more?
Are you good enough to be his wife?
Can he break me? Can he break you?
Oh, I don't know what I'm to do
Yes, I don't know what I'll fuckin' do
[Verse 3]
I've seen our café, I've clocked our plans
Oh, what could have been
If you didn’t go and fall in love
And ruin everything
I've seen him, I've been him
I've felt the same way
But now I break against the dirt
Along with our cafés
[Chorus]
Is he better than me?
Has he seen more to this life?
Can he smoke more? Can he fuck more?
Are you good enough to be his wife?
Can he break me? Can he break you?
Well, I don't know what I'm to do
Yes, I don't know what I'll fuckin' do
[Bridge]
I've lost all meaning
I've lost my sense of hope
I've seen him going out with you
I've seen what he can do
So touch him and break me
Strip naked, embrace him
Lose faith in his pace, his
Stamina and grace
I'm losing face
I'm losing face
I'm losing
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh, mmm-mmm
I don't care, I want you here
As long as you're happy, I don't care

[Verse 1]
You talk about habits
Boy I can name a few
But I don't bloody understand it
Is it chemical reactions or trained in two?
[Verse 2]
My left brain addresses conflict
While my right brain sings the blues
But I don't bloody understand it
Is it chemical reactions or trained in two?
When you die
When it's time
When you die
Who's hand will you squeeze to that goodnight?
[Verse 3]
I hope you're alright
I hope you're alright
I hope you're alright
I hope you're alright
I hope you're alright
I hope you're alright
I hope you're alright

[Verse 1]
Wasting your time
You're wasting mine
I hate to see you leaving
Fate worse than dying
[Verse 2]
Your city gave me asthma
So that's why I'm fucking leaving
And your water gave me cancer
And the pavement hurt my feelings
[Bridge]
Shout at the wall
'Cause the walls don't fucking love you
Shout at the wall
'Cause the walls don't fucking love you
[Guitar Solo]
[Refrain]
There's a reason
That London puts barriers on the tube line
There's a reason
That London puts barriers on the rails
There's a reason
That London puts barriers on the tube line
[Outro]
There's a reason, they fail

[Verse 1]
I think I'm dying this time
I'm not melodramatic
I'm just pragmatic beyond any
Reasoning for thinking I've got
Fuckin' rabies, or something
I think I'm dying this time
I think I'm dying this time
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
I think I've lost my mind
Blurring the fact and the fictions
Whilst simultaneously fixing
Myself up with a girl
Named Panadol
Bite the tablet, elixir
Disintegrate, mouth's a mixer
I think I've lied my mind
I think I've lost my mind
[Small Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
If I could just break one more night
Maybe I could wake up and feel alright
My optimistically set alarm clock time
Serves only to mock me with flashing lights
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
I think I've made my choice
Sink secluded in hatred
Void the plans friends are making
I think I've made my choice
I'm a leech sucking blood bags
Taste defeat, it's a sandbag
I think I've found my voice
I sink secluded in hatred
Void the plans friends are making
[Outro]
Saline solution
Saline solution to all your
Saline solution
Saline solution to all your problems
