lyrics
When I was high on the roof and I lost your phone
Left you in Catford Spoons and you were all alone
You said you’ve never met someone you hate like me
You’ve never met someone you hate like me
When you wanted to leave L.A
Cus you were broke and I made you stay
You said you’ve never met someone you hate like me
You’ve never met someone you hate like me
But the thing is
Baby I know I’ll get away with it
Know the words I have to say
To make you love me anyway
Oh baby
I know I’ll get away with it
Know that I will change your mind
Know it’s all just a matter of time
And you say your love is like a ticking clock
But it’s been so long we both know it’s not
Cus baby I know I’ll do it anyway
Left you in Catford Spoons and you were all alone
You said you’ve never met someone you hate like me
You’ve never met someone you hate like me
When you wanted to leave L.A
Cus you were broke and I made you stay
You said you’ve never met someone you hate like me
You’ve never met someone you hate like me
But the thing is
Baby I know I’ll get away with it
Know the words I have to say
To make you love me anyway
Oh baby
I know I’ll get away with it
Know that I will change your mind
Know it’s all just a matter of time
And you say your love is like a ticking clock
But it’s been so long we both know it’s not
Cus baby I know I’ll do it anyway

Joyous scary sunny vertigo; guitar, synths, male/female vocals. Listening lifts me up. I hear a pinch of shoegazing a la Medicine, Swirlies, but also other sounds - Stereolab, Octopus Project. I danced to several songs.
