I want a windless city in june I want a walk down to the harbour I want to play guitar like you I want a saint to be my cellmate
I want the last dream to come true A train in everyone’s back garden A tunnel to the heart of you A summer Sunday chiming of bodies brown
And the sleepy way you said my name As you turn and read my fortune And you pick up verses of ancient text That were dripping with your legend
And you turned to me and said You know you’re blowing all your chances And I asked if there was time You said that nothing was decided
You played me music I hadn’t heard From a long lost eighties box set And you cooked me dinner I never ate And we washed up all our dishes
The sun was blinding the sky was dark And the bells they kept on ringing The rats were happy the mice were full And there was something wrong with the plumbing
You showed me yesterday’s dress The one you nicked from Mary’s Market You tried to look like her Cause you thought that I would like it
I like you better I like you loads I like you unaffected Take your eighties’ records your books by Joyce And you can pack ‘em up for the summer
The wind was fooling again And the sun thought about setting You made the shadow shapes on the wall You thought I wasn’t watching
The wind was messing again And the sun thought about leaving You made the dirty shapes on the wall You thought I wasn’t watching
It was liberating, your puppet dance It was our one true moment lasting You took the slipper you took the pear You made a still life out of nothing
It was liberating, your puppet dance It was our one true moment lasting You took the slipper you took the pear You made a still life out of nothing, nothing
I want a windless city in june I want a walk down to the shoreline I want infinity in a girl I want a song that kills me
