about

The only fade-in of the album, unlike All Human where I perhaps beat any life out of the feature. (Oh, not even true. You Are Beautiful has one too. So predictable.)

lyrics

Please take me home,
I can’t face the night alone,
Don’t want to be a statistic on some sad report.

Because what you can’t see,
Can only hurt you quicker,
A blurred face or a bungled rape against the steel bridge wall.

So count to ten and tell me you’d walk home again,
And every bleary light seems to signal some other bloody end.

And if I fell in the river I’d be thought of forever
As some drunken teenager staggering unseen into some tragic end,
And I ain’t touched a drop all night.

And if I told you I loved you would you still walk away?
And if I told you I cried for you as funeral ambulances took me away,
Would you come and take me home?

I’m a slow-walking spirit,
Trying to find my way back home.
But alone in the dark I make out your light.

And I’m proud that I’m proficient at lying
So many other people would die & be mourned,
By some congregation who thought that they were…

Good enough to die,
Good enough to die there alone,
A hole in our lives,
And a cautionary tale to those who think they’re immortal.

We’re not immortal,
We’re not immortal.

And I’m not strong enough to be that hero,
I’m not brave to go it alone, my love,
Come pick me up, out, into the light,
And take me home…
