Somebody hold me stone still
I’m feeling quite ill, feeling quite ill
Oh when will we marry she says
There’s bombs in my head, bombs in my head
And flowered grass under my feet
Before summer’s defeat, summer’s defeat
When all of my plans turn to dust
How do others get up, others get up

Oh bring all the pieces alive
And watch how they dance
To inaudible sighs
So sang my mother just listen and sigh
It was all here before you and stays when you die

Strong hands as small as a coin
A girl then a boy, a girl then a boy
But how will I eat, will I live
I’ve got more than I give, more than I give
And with terrible fear in my chest
I know I’m the best, I know I’m the best

Oh bring all the pieces alive
Watch how they dance
To inaudible sighs
So sang my mother just listen and sigh
It was all here before you and stays when you die

Oh bring all the pieces alive
Watch how they dance
To inaudible sighs
So sang my mother just listen and sigh
It was all here before you it stays when you die
