lyrics

The 123 bus brought me there, red brick upon red brick, frost bitten stone.
Wasted youth use their bodies as currency, oh the busy fools they are losing money fast.

To save my boots while addressing the gathering I stood on a fruit box on the cracked tarmac road.
From my trousers I unravelled a road map to the soul I had scribbled on a crumpled receipt.
Then I discreetly began to repeat...

I do decree I'm in need of a partner to dance the slow dance with through forgotten halls.
But not too big, not too short and not too tall.

Oh will you please rip yer eyes from yer phone,
I am bored now of being alone.
If you're out there make yourself known!

I headed west I took all I could handle, and in a lonely church I lit a red candle not for divine intervention or some desperate intention I just find comfort in a flickering flame.

In the coal yard, no it wouldn't be long,
You could wash away all of their wrongs and I would immortalise you in a song, the likes of you pay no heed to this game, sure there is nothing that even rhymes with your name.

I do decree I'm in need of a partner to dance the slow dance with through forgotten halls.
But not too big, not too short and not too tall.
Ah will you please rip yer eyes from yer phone,
I am bored now of being alone,
If you're out there make yourself known!

But I know what I'm like in the morning with my eyes hanging out of my head, it's paranoia that prevents me from calling,
ah hold your tongue now you are making me yawn.
Aint it obvious, I love you, come on.

I do decree I'm in need of a partner to dance the slow dance with through forgotten halls.
But not too big, not too short and not too tall.
Will you please rip yer eyes from yer phone,
I am bored now of being alone,
If you're out there make yourself known!
