lyrics

Recall the time
we straddled your windowpane
and smoked the last
of the weed that sent you insane
In a public loo, in a borough of London that I won't mention
You phoned me in Minnesota, said you had a vital question
and as we smoked
you feared you neighbours might see
We watched a fox
Rip out the contents of each bin-bag that lined the road
And then you turned to see me mouth
“those entrails are how I'll feel when you decide to leave me”

Now I've a whole lot of hate for the island
since your friends buried you down there, six feet deep beneath the sand
But at least I know we'll never be that far now from each other
Just a couple hundred feet either side of sea level

It's no lie if the waters rose and drowned that place from coast to coast
You wouldn't see this smile leave my face for all eternity
