The 22nd of January 2022
That was the first time I laid eyes on you
Although we did not speak for nearly a whole year
Our eyes connect between the reps and suddenly
Suddenly I feel so exposed
But we have met before
Now we're in a beam of light
The whole world spins away
Weightless in outer space it's just you and I
But we come crashing down to earth
You won't give me your number
We get trapped in this strange loop
Throughout the year
When I reach across to you
You smile but pull away
We have met before
But I don't recall your name
You are every kind eyed man
That I cannot make stay
So if I won't have you for long
How about we seize the day?
I'm not going to pretend
That I'm some kind of saint
But I will give you my everything
It's up to you what you do with it
So if I won't have you for long
I think it's best we seize the day
I wonder what I'll have learned
By the time you walk away
Will the lightness that you bring
May my lonesome blues fade away
So if I won't have you for long
It's time to seize the day
What do you say? So it begins
COMING ON STRONG
My baby comes on strong
But it's ok, it's what I want
We meet every night at 8
And we don't get home till late
He says I look like all that he needs
I was happy as a pig in
Happy as a pig in
Happy as a pig in spite of myself
He walks funny but that's ok
He's mine, all mine
He shows me creep shots he took of me
Before we'd even been introduced
He likes the cut of my jib
He likes my extra skinny fit
And on the C10 bus I realise it's love
I was happy as a pig in
Happy as a pig in
Happy as a pig in spite of myself
He walks funny but that's ok
He's always crashing into things
I was so sure
That lightning couldn't strike again
But here you are
To prove me wrong
I have a lover and I have a friend
He's the one I can be chill with
My baby comes on strong but it's ok
He's mine
I asked the listening skies
For someone to make me laugh
And here you are
You were heaven sent
I have a lover and I have a friend
He's the one I can be chill with
LOVE BOMBS
I'm thinking about scaling your fence
And leaving a single red rose by your door
I'm thinking about learning the accordion
And serenading you under your window
I'm thinking about taking you to a West End show
And buying every seat in the house
I'm thinking about my will and testament
And letting it all go to ground
There's an invisible line that goes from your heart to mine
If you close your eyes, can you feel it?
Love bombs love (I feel it)
Love bombs love (I feel it)
There's an invisible line that goes from your heart to mine
Don't tell me that you can't feel it
Love bombs love (I feel it)
Love bombs love (I feel it)
So I shoot my shot
I take next man's spot
And over our heads the stars align
I want to cool you down
I want to rough you up
I want to crawl all over you
Most of the time
I'm thinking about collecting your laughter
And sealing it safe in a jar
I'm thinking about framing the napkin
You bled on and mounting it on my wall
There's an invisible line that goes from your heart to mine
If you close your eyes, can you feel it?
Love bombs love (I feel it)
Love bombs love (I feel it)
There's an invisible line that goes from your heart to mine
Don't tell me that you can't feel it
Love bombs love (I feel it)
Love bombs love (I feel it)
I think it's about time you declared your hand
We haven't got to play these games
I get so scared when I'm in your arms
That one day this will all go away
It's like the whole thing was planned
The jigsaw fell into place
Our love will take over the world
They'll see the blaze from outer space
Outer space
There's an invisible line that goes from your heart to mine
If you close your eyes, can you feel it?
Love bombs love (I feel it)
Love bombs love (I feel it)
There's an invisible line that goes from your heart to mine
Don't tell me that you can't feel it
Love bombs love (I feel it)
Love bombs love (I feel it)
PIGWIG
That was the moment I knew
I’d fallen for you
Our summer of love
Pigling
We take your car to the beach
I load up on treats
as the motorway rolls
My baby’s obsessed with the coast in disarray
He wants to see the concrete and grey
Seems he’s happiest amongst the disrepair
He’s in love with decay
When we arrive at the beach
he says he’ll treat me
to a 99 with two scoops
Sound bath by the sea
we lie feet to feet
as the sound of the gong washes over us
I told Andre I can’t see him again
It just doesn’t feel right anymore
There’s only so much of me to go around
And pigling I have been found
Everyday is such a vibe
Everyday that we’re alive
Everyday is such a vibe
And it’s getting better
He’s tugging on my arm like a heartstring
He’s filling my days with wild imaginings
My baby’s obsessed with podcasts on success
About the ones who make it
and the ones who don’t
About the ones who come close
they can almost taste it
But don’t have what it takes to seize it
You have found your Hobie brown
I have found my pigling bland
You have caught a falling blossom
in the palm of your hand
I told Davide I can’t see him again
It just doesn’t feel right anymore
There’s only so much of me to go around
And pigling I have been found
Everyday is such a vibe
Everyday that we’re alive
Everyday is such a vibe
And it’s getting better
He’s tugging on my arm like a heartstring
He’s filling my days with wild imaginings
That was the moment I knew
That was the moment I knew
That was the moment I knew
That I’d been
That was the moment I knew
That was the moment I knew
That was the moment I knew
We drive back from the sea
before the night hits
My baby is worried about his weak eyes
So I hold his hand
all the way home
I need him to know
that I’m with him
On the 4th date
he plays a trick on me
I go up to his floor
but he’s playing dead
Lying still in the hallway
I panic
but then I see his smile
Is this It? I think it is
Is this it? I think it is
With those shark black eyes
he sees my soul
Is this It? I think it is
Is this it? I think it is
Oh pigling
here we go again
That was the moment I knew
That was the moment I knew
That was the moment I knew
That I’d been
That was the moment I knew
That was the moment I knew
That was the moment I knew
That I’d been found
That I’d been found
LAGOON BLUE
Blue, it was lagoon blue
Your 57 Ford Anglia
You picked me up in it
Your horned rimmed glasses get in the way
So we do air kisses
Let me breathe you in
In the time it takes for two ticks to go blue
It seems I'm smitten
It seems I'm into you
He does it on purpose
He wants to make me wait
I could wait a lifetime for him
He says he likes the way I say his name
And I like the way he says mine
I choose you with grace
I choose you with sensitivity
I choose to reveal
Day after day
It was blue
Cerulean blue
We watch the tankers fade from our view
He asks nothing of me
I ask of nothing of him
Let the shore we walk on guide us
He says he likes the way I sigh
When his hand brushes against mine
I choose you with grace
I choose you with sensitivity
I choose to reveal
Day after day
I choose you with love
I choose you with hunger in my heart
I choose you today and all of the days
And if you feel overwhelmed
If your prone to doubt
To apprehend
Take my hand
Run with me
Let's feel the blood in our cheeks
This break of routine has shown me how great these days can be
It's made me forget everything
This day by your side has shown me how sweet this world can be
You've made me forget everything
If I could just steal these hours from days
To feel you with you in every way
And I feel right by your side
The night descends so we head in
To watch a Japanese animation
I fall asleep on your sleeve
With those three word
In my dreams

WORST BIRTHDAY EVER

NOT YOUR PROBLEM

NOW WE CAN'T BE FRIENDS
You did a wicked thing, boy
You played a trick on me
With words that were not honest
Now we can't be friends
You said that you were different
From the ones that came before
You said that I could trust you
Fool me twice, I'm dumb
Drip, drip, drip
Goes the bleeding of my heart
We had a good thing going
But now it's in the past
Drip, drip, drip
Goes the bleeding of my heart
You got to get out there
I know, I know it's over
I know, I know we're through
But can you tell me, where did the love go?
For now we can't be friends
Now we can't be friends
Losing you hit harder than I
Thought it could possibly hit
It exposed the weakness
The weakness that's in me
Drip, drip, drip
Goes the bleeding of my heart
We had a good thing going
But now it's in the past
Drip, drip, drip
Goes the bleeding of my heart
You got to get out there
I know, I know it's over
I know, I know we're through
But can you tell me, where did the love go?
And now we can't be friends
Now we can't be friends
So when I see you out, forgive me
If I can't bring myself to speak
I'm only looking out for myself
Now we can't be friends
Now we can't be friends
And now we can't be friends
Now we can't be friends
When I think of him
There's a sadness that I feel
Because it's clear now
That none of this was real
Drip, drip, drip
Goes the bleeding of my heart
We had a good thing going
But now it's in the past
Drip, drip, drip
Goes the bleeding of my heart
You got to get out there
I know, I know it's over
I know, I know we're through
But can you tell me where did the love go?
And now we can't be friends
(Now we can't be friends)
So when I see you out, forgive me
If I can't bring myself to speak
I'm only looking out for myself
But for now, we can't be friends
