My Beautiful Defence Lyrics - The Lipstick Conspiracies - Thea Gilmore

Hey, looks like sleep is here 

Its two thirty AM the town has been cleared and 

The traffic has stopped for the minute at least 

We lie like a symphony under the sheets 

And earlier today you said you know, girl 

We're like two different halves of two different worlds 

And I said that's fine, who says difference repels? 

Like some crackpot play or some sketch of fate 

We've carried the scripts and the times and the dates 

In each others arms and our bodies are spent 

And you've got the role of my beautiful defence 

And I spent some time trying to sum up your eyes 

In a cafe in Oldham Street under Indian skies 

Through the racks of your history and all the crossed lives 

And you looked so sad with all those ghosts on your tail 

When they claw at your skin you're all secrets and veils 

You say Its dragging me under the riptide and I said 

When the whole world comes down I'll hold it up round your head 

Like some crackpot play or some sketch of fate 

We've carried the scripts and the times and the dates 

In each others arms and our bodies are spent 

And you've got the role of my beautiful defence 

Beautiful defence 

Maybe we can change the world, it might just take a while 

If we're gonna fight our corner we're gonna do it with style 

You've got the beauty and you've got the heart 

And that is as good a place as any to start 

You're my beautiful defence 

You're my beautiful defence
