My Year in Lists (Live at Islington Assembly Hall)

You said "send me stationary to make me horny"
So I always write you letters in multicolours
Decorating envelopes for foreplay
Damn extended metaphors, I get carried away
On the back of a natural disaster,
fixed with parcel tape and with kids sticking plasters
Nothing says 'I miss you' quite like the
poetry carved in your door with a stanley knife

My year in lists
Stomping on your fingers as you're clinging on to the abyss
So put on every winter coat that you've owned since '98
And every midnight since the count turned to another awful day

I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you
I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you
I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you

On your request, I compile a list
Of my top five resolutions for this year (one!)
I declined 'cause I decided that I (two!
) did not believe in the new year anymore (three!)
And I must confess that at times like these
hopefulness is tantamount to hopelessness (four!)
And I accept that it's time for a change but not in places
like this with people like these (five! five! five! five! five!)

My year in lists
Stomping on your fingers as you're clinging on to the abyss
So put on every winter coat that you've owned since '98
And every midnight that the count turned to another awful day

I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you
I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you
I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you.
