If all that you need is the air that I breathe
Is that why you're standing so close?
So close to me
♪
And she walked into the room like the Belle of the ball
As shadows casting shapes across opposing walls
She walked up to me and in this live lamplight
Said you looked just like a liberal but still dressed to the right
Well her boyfriend's a dick
But he's crashed out in the hall singing songs about love, about lust, about Millwall
And her eyes are so convincing and her moves are that slick
But the thing about this quicksand is
It's never that quick
And go home if you're such better days
You know somebody's got to make this change
And let go of this endless quest for paradise
You were lost to the dark when you blew out the lights
If all that you need is the air that I breathe
Is that why you're standing so close to me?
If all you can see is the blood that I bleed
When I close my eyes I'll try not breathe so constantly
♪
And it's slow infidelity
When you can't even start to recover the pieces of the fire that's in your heart
And she used to be a model
But these days she stays in bed
She can't leave the house since voting for Nick Clegg
Now she's going underground
Where I know she'll be fine
She met her lusty lovers on the circle line
With a hand over my mouth and a chair under the door
The thing about these morals is
You always want more
And go home if you're such better days
You know somebody's got to make this change
And let go of this endless quest for paradise
You were lost to the dark when you blew out the lights
If all that you need is the air that I breathe
Is that why you're standing so close to me?
If all you can see is the blood that I bleed
When I close my eyes I'll try not breathe so constantly
Go home if you're such better, better days, days
And home if you're such better, better days
If all that you need is the air that I breathe
Is that why you're standing so close to me?
If all you can see is the blood that I bleed
When I close my eyes I'll try not breathe
