Friday comes round and she's dreaming up plans
Texts an old friend, says 'I'll be back in town'
But he's scared to go out, he's scared to get drunk
He's scared that he'll blurt out 'I love you so much'
And it's hard for the mind to accept
What the body rejects
The back of his mind hopes she'll be ill at ease
Head in her hands, wiping tears on her sleeve
But she's sunshine and smiles with love in her eyes
And the warmth she exudes gives him reason to fight
And it's hard for the body to face
What the mind won't embrace
Leave me to lie with my breakthrough
Don't ask me why cos I'll tell you
Pretend my smile is a prelude
He comes around and it's eight the next day
Texts her three times asking 'what did I say?'
Cos he knows he went out, he knows he got drunk
And he's scared that he told her 'I love you so much'
Cos it's hard for the mind to forget
What the body accepts
Leave me to lie with my breakthrough
Don't ask me why cos I'll tell you
Pretend my smile is a prelude
Hearing this was like discovering Desire, or London Calling for the first time. Derivative yet original, the songs are immediate and the melodies will get stuck in your ear for days. tideracer
