CHERUBS E.P. LYRICS

CHERUBS.
I SEE CHERUBS SWARM AROUND THE BED AND SWOOPING DOWN TO KISS YOUR HEAD. ONLY 
WHEN YOU'RE WRECKED DO YOU AGREE WITH ALL MY PLANS FOR YOU AND ME. THE WALLS 
BREATHE, WE'RE LOCKED IN TIGHT - IT'S A LOVELY END TO AN UGLY NIGHT. I THINK I 
COULD BURST BUT I'M SURE IT'LL KEEP. THE STROBE IN MY HEAD KEEPS ME FROM SLEEP.

MOTOWN ANSWERS.
IT TAKES MUCH MORE THAN NAMES I'M CRYING, TO CONVINCE ME WE'VE BEEN TRYING. AND 
I'D ADMIT IT WHEN YOU NEED IT. I'D WRITE IT DOWN IF YOU'D READ IT. I'M SAYING 
TOO MUCH - IT LOSES POWER. BUT SOMETIMES I NEED IT ON THE HOUR, EVERY HOUR. WHAT 
DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET THE MESSAGE THROUGH? THERE'S NO DISCUSSION - IT'S EASY TO 
END IT. NO EFFORT'S MADE TO TRY TO DEFEND IT. I MAKE MY POINT IF YOU SHUT UP AND 
LET ME. YOU KNOW I'M ONLY LEAVING SO YOU CAN COME AND GET ME. I'VE HEARD 
EVERYTHING YOU'VE SAID. I'M TIRED AND I JUST NEED MY BED.

AN EVENTFUL DAY.
IF I DON'T KNOW, I CAN'T UNDERSTAND. I'LL GET THE DRINKS WHEN YOU GIVE ME BACK 
MY HAND. YOU KNOW I'M NOT THAT BOTHERED, WE DONT HAVE TO STAY - IT'S ALREADY 
BEEN AN EVENTFUL DAY. THERE IS NOTHING THAT COULD EVER BE ABOVE YOU. THERE'S NOT 
MUCH I COULD EVER DO. WE HAD A LAUGH AT DINNER AND I THOUGHT YOU SEEMED FINE. 
JUST BLAME THE HORMONES AND TOO MUCH RED WINE. IT WONT BE THE LAST AND IT'S NOT 
LIKE IT'S A FIRST. JUST MAKE SOMETHING UP, 'CAUSE I ALWAYS FEEL THE WORST. THERE 
IS NOTHING THAT COULD EVER BE ABOVE YOU THERE'S NOT MUCH I COULD EVER DO

PULLED.
I WAS TRYING TO SLEEP, BUT MY HEART-RATE WASN'T FOOLED. IT WAS AT LEAST THE BACK 
OF FOUR WHEN YOU PHONED TO TELL ME THAT YOU'D PULLED. YOU MET HIM IN A CLUB AND 
HE'S NICE. YOU HOPE HE DOESN'T THINK YOU'RE SLACK. BUT HE'S WAITING IN THE NEXT 
ROOM AND YOU THINK YOU'D BETTER GET BACK. I'M TRYING TO SLEEP, BUT I'M STARING 
AND I'M THINKING. AND MY BED'S FUCKING HUGE. AND YOU AND HIM ARE DRINKING. I'M 
GLAD THAT I'M GOING. THAT I'LL SOON BE AWAY. I WISH YOU'D JUST ASK HER 'CAUSE 
IT'S NOT SOMETHING I CAN SAY.
