Human Music Lyrics - Singles - Soft Boys

I've forgotten what it's like, if I ever knew at all 

I have slept on broken glass and drooped against the wall 

I hung the phone up many times on angels when they rang 

Their melodies were sickly sweet like overripe meringues 

I was born with something missing 

But I know your lip was made for kissing 

Ooh baby, when that human music plays I don't know why 

The wind explodes and rips itself to pieces everywhere 

It itches in the chimney and it suffocates the air 

The angels tried to anchor but they never get the chance 

Their limbs are numb and twisted so they're going to have to dance 

What scares you most will set you free 

That's what the angel said to me, he said 

Ooh baby, when that human music plays I don't know why 

I had a girl the shape of you, I loved her with my breath 

But I would hate to admit that romance likes to end in death 

And darkness is the shore of light, the truth is framed with lies 

And a girl can smile sweetly though her mouth is stuffed with flies 

When you're thin and damp and shoddy 

Just remember that you're in a body 

Ooh baby, when that human music plays I don't know why
