So my mouth has gone dry My hands have been shaking so long that it must be goodbye Here’s a razor wire kiss A murderous love song To help find my way out of this You Had me at hi A child and her maker Rough diamond to jewellers eye Did you think That I was all fight The soft centred ingenue might do Oh yeah she just might Hey well I I won't let...Learn More

Got 26 Letters to tell you I'm tired 26 letters some fingers some wire Then I will go 26 letters to tell you I'm wrong 26 letters to carve out a song Then I will go I'm folding the shadows I'm sharpening the air I'm dressing the truth up then laying it bare I'll cut out the stars and I'll hand them to you Then I'll come true 26 letters to tell...Learn More
