Ion Square Lyrics

My favourite on the album. IMO the best bit is:

"So let's stay in, let the sofa be our car Let's stay in, let the TV be our stars I found my dancing shoes but they don't fit All the bright lights do is bore me They bore me"

I think this is great because it's like she said "Let's go out tonight to a club" and Kele says "No, I want to stay in and spend time with you" and makes excuses about his dancing shoes... Amazing

Also Kele famously has a stutter, so the "You finish my, you finish my words for me" is part stutter, part about the stutter and part how she completes him"

As samfancypants said it is very sad. A song about how happy you once were is the saddest...

Kele is the best!

Brilliant observation on the real life stutter, and its even deeper meaning here.

Also, on Weekend in the City, his solution to stuttering seems to be cocaine, "you make my tongue loose, I am hopeful and stutter free". Nice to see a change here.
