Lyrics
See the windscreen reflect in your eyes
It doubles up as you cry
From the back seat in the middle
I drove searching all night
For things you said you could’ve told me if I
Had only asked
If I’d just slowed down a little
Have you got it now?
Step back and finger-frame it now
See if you’ve got it
The answer’s sat waving at you like a polygraph
Hope that you saw it
Post-mortems are flooding my desk
Wish I could stop, seem to insist
On doing one per conversation
Left my office and saw
In-patients smoking out the hospital doors
Wish I was them, cured of sensing disappointment
Have you got it now?
Look back at what you’ve written down
See if you’ve got it
The answer’s sat waving at you like a polygraph
Hope that you saw it
Constellations in the photographs
Pins and string, watch it sprawl towards the door
My perspective made the hall taper
To where damp had started to render
Simulacra in the wallpaper
Asked my neighbour could she see it and
As she stood there trying to understand
It disappeared from underneath her hand
She shot me a look that said
‘Salvation doesn’t work when it’s a back-up plan, you know’
