The Bones Of You Lyrics - The Seldom Seen Kid - Elbow

So I'm there, 

Charging around with a juggernaut brow 

Overdraft speeches and deadlines to make 

Cramming commitments like cats in a sack 

Telephone burn and a purposeful gait 

When out of a doorway the tentacles stretch 

Of a song that I know and the world moves in slow-mo 

Straight to my head like the first cigarette of the day 

And it's you and it's May 

And we're sleeping through the day 

And I'm five years ago 

And three thousand miles away 

Do I have time? A man of my calibre? 

Stood in the street like a sleepwalking teenager? 

No. And I dealt with this years ago 

I took a hammer to every memento

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

But image on image like beads on a rosary 

Pull through my head as the music takes hold 

And the sickener hits, I could work till I break 

But I love the bones of you, that I will never escape 

And it's you, and it's May 

And we're sleeping through the day 

And I'm five years ago 

And three thousand miles away 

And I can't move my arm 

For the fear that you will wake 

And I'm five years ago 

And three thousand miles away 

And I'm five years ago 

And three thousand miles away 

And I'm five years ago 

And three thousand miles away 

And it's you and its May 

And we're sleeping through the day 

And I'm five years ago 

And three thousand miles away
