Making Dens Lyrics
I have a plane
One of the few with roundels on its wings
A lullaby for me and you
When it flies high, it sings
Rock me to sleep with que sera
Dear Mum do you suppose?
As I feel my eyelids close
The other side is not so far
I dug a hole under the ground
Made myself a den
It's there that I can be found
Not if you return but when
There's a place, a place called hell
I've spent some time there
In the dark I cast a spell
To bury all of my fears
Oh Dymphna! Oh Dymphna! Oh Dymphna!
I would that I could spell your name
Once I fell from a great height
"Are you ready? I've come for you"
A voice spoke from a pool of light
"Not yet" I said, "I've got some things to do"
All this time I've been making dens
And I'm still making them now
I know, I know I can never make amends
But I've got to reach you somehow
I can tie the laces of my own shoes
And I can count up to 32
Oh Dymphna! Oh Dymphna! Oh Dymphna!
I would that I could spell your name
I'm sorry, there are so few words
One day I ran out
And I waited a long time - they never came back
I see you often in everyday places
And I want to call out but I can't find the words
I can't find the words
I can't find the words...
They won't come
One of the few with roundels on its wings
A lullaby for me and you
When it flies high, it sings
Dear Mum do you suppose?
As I feel my eyelids close
The other side is not so far
Made myself a den
It's there that I can be found
Not if you return but when
I've spent some time there
In the dark I cast a spell
To bury all of my fears
I would that I could spell your name
"Are you ready? I've come for you"
A voice spoke from a pool of light
"Not yet" I said, "I've got some things to do"
And I'm still making them now
I know, I know I can never make amends
But I've got to reach you somehow
And I can count up to 32
I would that I could spell your name
One day I ran out
And I waited a long time - they never came back
I see you often in everyday places
And I want to call out but I can't find the words
I can't find the words
I can't find the words...
They won't come

an easier meaning: blaine's sister is called Dymphna :)
I read somewhere (must be true :P) that this song is about Henry's mum dying and him not being able to cope with it.
His mum's name was Dymphna too
It's a beautiful song, I think my favourite Mystery Jets one Wonderful
from Wiki on Dynymphna: She is the patron saint of insanity and mental illness professionals as well as incest victims, epileptics, runaways, and those suffering from mental illness. Story is, pagan Irish chieftan for a father and Christian mother. Mother dies.. Dynymphna has inherited mother's looks.. He comes on to her, she flees (to Belgium - !) and when she refuses to go back to Ireland to him, he matyrs her by decapitating her.
