Arab Strap - Cherubs E.P (2000) by Arab Strap (보컬) on maniadb.com

I see cherubs swarm around the bed and swooping down to kiss your head.
Only when you're wrecked do you agree with all my plans for you and me.
The walls breathe, we're locked in tight - it's a lovely end to an ugly night.
I think I could burst but I'm sure it'll keep.
The strobe in my head keeps me from sleep.

It takes much more than names I'm crying,
To convince me we've been trying.
And I don't want it when you need it.
I'd write it down if you'd read it.i'm saying too much
- it loses power.
But sometimes I need it on the hour, every hour.
What do I have to do to get the message through?


There's no discussion - it's easy to end it.
No effort's made to try to defend it.
I make my point if you shut up and let me.
You know I'm only leaving so you can come and get me.
I've heard everything you've said.
I'm tired and I just need my bed.

If I don't know, I can't understand.
'll get the drinks when you give me back my hand.
You know I'm not that bothered,
We don't have to stay - it's already been an eventful day.
There is nothing that could ever be above you.
There's not much I could ever do.
We had a laugh at dinner and I thought you seemed fine.


Just blame the hormones and too much red wine.
It wont be the last and it's not like it's a first.
Just make something up,
'cause I always feel the worst.
There is nothing that could ever be above you
There's not much I could ever do.

I was trying to sleep, but my heart-rate wasn't fooled.
It was at least the back of four when you phoned to tell me that you'd pulled.
You met him in a club and he's nice.
You hope he doesn't think you're slack.
But he's waiting in the next room and you think you'd better get back.
I'm trying to sleep, but I'm staring and I'm thinking.


And my bed's f**king huge.
And you and him are drinking.
I'm glad that I'm going.
That I'll soon be away.
I wish you'd just ask her 'cause it's not something I can say.
