Bridges
I was dreaming of a cottage in Cornwall
Spanish wine and cheese
I'd work the fire, write for a while
And then curl up at your feet
And the neighbour's will think I look ridiculous
In my pointy shoes and coat
But I've got a lot more going on
And it's unfair to gloat
Please hold me still
Because it's only you that I want around
From up on this hill
We can watch my bridges burn down
Watch my bridges burn down
Half a million miles away
Drinking Awamori in the sand
When a bomb went off in Paris
It blew the cocktails out' their hands
Shots fired in the centre of your town It's a European shakedown
All the streets and bars were empty
There was no one around
Please hold me still
Because it's only you that I want around
From up on this hill
We can watch my bridges burn down
Watch my bridges burn down
Pour me a glass of spider's milk
Or whatever the fuck you drink here
I'm gonna mumble my sad goodbyes
Pay my tab and disappear
Oh how the mighty have fallen
In love with you
And when I finally kill myself
Well who'll take care of you?
Please hold me still
Because it's only you that I want around
From up on this hill
We can watch my bridges burn down
Watch my bridges burn down
Watch my bridges
Spanish wine and cheese
I'd work the fire, write for a while
And then curl up at your feet
And the neighbour's will think I look ridiculous
In my pointy shoes and coat
But I've got a lot more going on
And it's unfair to gloat
Please hold me still
Because it's only you that I want around
From up on this hill
We can watch my bridges burn down
Watch my bridges burn down
Half a million miles away
Drinking Awamori in the sand
When a bomb went off in Paris
It blew the cocktails out' their hands
Shots fired in the centre of your town It's a European shakedown
All the streets and bars were empty
There was no one around
Please hold me still
Because it's only you that I want around
From up on this hill
We can watch my bridges burn down
Watch my bridges burn down
Pour me a glass of spider's milk
Or whatever the fuck you drink here
I'm gonna mumble my sad goodbyes
Pay my tab and disappear
Oh how the mighty have fallen
In love with you
And when I finally kill myself
Well who'll take care of you?
Please hold me still
Because it's only you that I want around
From up on this hill
We can watch my bridges burn down
Watch my bridges burn down
Watch my bridges
