Lyrics

Speaking frankly
You can put your face on
Patronising
Don’t it make you right?
Paint the house new
That don’t make it warm and dry
Infantilising
Don’t it make you right?

They’re operating
My veins like tea leaves
They say it’s too late
They say it’s too late
Bodies gone cold
Everyone went home
They say it’s too late
They say it’s too late

Everybody
Knows but no one’s there
No no one man
Accounts for the mess
All is fair in love and war
Cut my heart out cause I’m bored

They’re operating
My veins like tea leaves
They say it’s too late
They say it’s too late
Bodies gone cold
Everyone went home
They say it’s too late
They say it’s too late

All is fair in love and war
Cut my heart out cause I’m bored
She don’t get the seed she’s sown
I’m the one that won’t let go
