Album:
The Horror and the Wild
Marbles
1: I’ve held your hand since nineteen seventy nine,
2: You were in a band [still am] yeah but back then you had hair and your smile was so sublime
1: And I chipped my teeth on every joke you cracked
2:You used to buy me scotch [still do] yeah but now too much is never enough
To take me back to that dance hall where you got thrown out cos they thought you were drunk [I wasn't]
You couldn’t lie then and you sure as hell can’t lie to me now.
You stole the best years of my life
1: I’ll give them back
2: You got fat
1: And you’re the thigh high hemline I just can’t stop staring at
Both: I will, i will wait and hope
Your eyes aren’t rivers there to weep
But a place for crows to rest their feet
I will, i will wait and hope
And rest my head at night content
Knowing where my marbles went
1: The flat we rented was a palace for my queen
2: If by palace you mean that asbestos and beans from a tin, and the gin that we brewed in the bathtub
1: You sang ‘do you think I’m sexy’ And oh god I really did.
You’d swoon [you’d sigh] working shifts till we cried
2: Oh if one more guy calls me darling then I
Both: swear to you and to god I will murder them all,
2: all the bastards applaud when I show that I’m flawed
1: You’re not flawed darling, you’re just a little under-rehearsed.
2: And I’d get in
And for some reason you’ve painted the kitchen lime green
Both:
And I'd sink to the floor, what’s the point anymore,
2: And you, you’d reply with a glint in your eye
[1: And you, you’d reply with a drink in your hand]
2: Saying ‘I don’t know, but I’m here, I’m all yours, dear heart don’t cry’
[1: Saying ‘I don’t know, but I’m here, oh dear god, dear heart don’t cry’]Both: Cos I will, i will wait and hope
Your eyes aren’t rivers there to weep
But a place for crows to rest their feet
And I will, i will wait and hope
And rest my head at night content
Knowing where my marbles went
1: I’ve loved you, for a hundred years
2: Certainly fucking feels like it
1: The minute I met you the colours of my life begun to pour
2: I’m scared of the dark
1: And now, even though you’re mad and these memories won’t stay, it’s okay.
Cos now I get to meet you for the first time every single day
Both: I will wait and hope
Your eyes aren’t rivers there to weep
But a place for crows to rest their feet
I’ll wait and hope
And rest my head at night content
Knowing where my marbles...
1: And I will wait
And I will wait
And I will wait
And hope
2: And I will wait
And I will wait
And I will wait
And I will wait
