lyrics

Surely it's not me who's stepped out of line,
Haven't been wrong since the end of '99;
Asked for a hand even though I could reach
No pomp, no ceremony, not even a squeaky speech.

Heart sores as a whirlybird: slow and unsteady.
Stomach drops at the apex, readily waiting to
catch the bug.

But to love, to have, and to hold, and deserve love in return (repeat heaps)
That's a source of heat, somewhere demons go to burn.
