lyrics

Me; I was a slave to my seven thousand yesterdays
I wanted everything at once
Me; I wasn't there - I packed my packs and left the croft
Into the high unknown

You; appeared ahaze - half-inch of L & B ablaze
A killer in the smoke
I, I stared at pints, and said flowered things for frantic nights
A fire I could toke

I never thought that this'd be another stranger night
I never thought that I would be away in a stranger
I never thought that this'd be another stranger night
And that's because I never think!

You; you should've said that the idea hurt your very head
The very head that I was on
But we; all interlocked - a throng that simply couldn't stop
We made a tired drunken bond

Scraped the dancing-kissing step, failed 'romantic walk'
I thought you'd feel like Audrey Hep! You felt like a stranger
Walking in the North Bridge light, and only then I thought
"Tomorrow all of this love'll sink"

No, no, Nova
I'm on the brink of finding home
If terrible things'll happen
Terrible things'll pass
But nobody held me up to lights to say that
No, no, Nova
My heart is all navy blue and chrome
Staggering to your duvet
So struggling to implore
We're friends as fuck when we're dancing on
Strangers when we turn to leave the floor
