Jess, You Got Yr Song, So Leave Lyrics
The bus they pull that you see through
The only front just to try and get close to you
And all those boys in vacuum huts, celebrating midnight like slaves to their arts
Maybe yr jealous? you aren't
Family thought for country taught
You only learnt to hide yr accent when you speak to them
And college towns just know their own
Now you can drink or you can kill em' all by light or less than six drags i know
But tonight yr slow
Never gonna be the martyrs that we wanted
Never gonna sleep with idols we crave
Just throw yr arms around the nights you've left behind
And know that when you sleep at least you got this one song
(??)
Melodrama drags aside and chugs the air from yr chest
All "call me" friends and smoking pens
With shaky hands and only if you promise not to act surprised
To let the moment pass you by like its not yrs
He's spoken, he's spoken for
Never gonna be the martyrs that we wanted
Never gonna sleep with idols we crave
Just throw yr arms around the nights you've left behind
And know that when you sleep at least you got this one song
She sleeps with darkness
You know her name
She sleeps with darkness
All the same
She sleeps with darkness
You know her name
She sleeps with darkness
All the same
The only front just to try and get close to you
And all those boys in vacuum huts, celebrating midnight like slaves to their arts
Maybe yr jealous? you aren't
You only learnt to hide yr accent when you speak to them
And college towns just know their own
Now you can drink or you can kill em' all by light or less than six drags i know
Never gonna sleep with idols we crave
Just throw yr arms around the nights you've left behind
And know that when you sleep at least you got this one song
All "call me" friends and smoking pens
With shaky hands and only if you promise not to act surprised
To let the moment pass you by like its not yrs
Never gonna sleep with idols we crave
Just throw yr arms around the nights you've left behind
And know that when you sleep at least you got this one song
You know her name
She sleeps with darkness
All the same
You know her name
She sleeps with darkness
All the same

From the comic/Lyric book
The boast they pull that you see thru; they only front just to try to get close to you. and all those boys with vacuum hearts, celebrating midnight like slaves to their arts. well, maybe yr jealous you aren't.
family fought for country taught; You only learnt to hide yr accent when you speak to them. College towns just know their own; now you can drink, you can kill a malbroro light in lss than 6 drags, i know
But tonight yr slow.
Never going to be the models that we wanted Never going to sleep with idols we crave. Just throw yr arms around the nights you've lag behind And know that when you sleep, At least you got... this one song
Broke yrself for faint routine.
Melodrama drags outside and chokes the air from yr chest. All call-me-friends in smoking pens with shaky hands, and only if you promise no to act surprised, to let the moment pass you by like it's not yrs.
He's spoken, he's spoken for.
Never going to be the models that we wanted Never going to sleep with idols we crave. Just throw yr arms around the nights you've lag behind And know that when you sleep, At least you got... this one song
She sleeps with darkness You know her name She sleeps with darkness All the same
She sleeps with darkness You know her name She sleeps with darkness All the same
I coppied it as it was written however "going to be" in the chorus is pronounced "Gonna be" The difference might be easier for others if they are trying to learn them to sing i guess.
Also as mentioned in http://drownedinsound.com/in_depth/4143931-johnny-foreigner-vs-everything-track-by-track
This isn't Jess's song, mind. That was feeling this by Blink 182. Cos no matter how important yr self inflicted drunken OTT social dramas get, they can always wait until after this song comes on stupid loud thru the shit pa at yr local midweek indie club. and even after that, I still don't really want to be dragged into it when I'm outside having a quiet smoke, unless you accept that I'll write a song that basically says, yr lovely but you should probably stop whining. The Dexys horns at the start of the second verse is my proudest moment as a brass arranger, and forgetting about (and having to recreate in melodyne) the chorus harmonies my least.
