lyrics

THE OLD DAWN

TO LOSE ALL
AND SO TO BE DISCOVERED
TO BE UPRIGHT
AND HANG YOURSELF LIKE WALLPAPER
LIVE EVERYDAY FOR NOTHING
AND NEVER FEAR DAWN
A MOONFACED GIRL
IN THE SECOND YEAR
WHO MIGHT HAVE
HAD THE ANSWER
A SUBLIMATED TWINKLE
AT THE HORIZON ON HER CHEEK
ANKLES IN THE CHANNEL
IT'S THE SAME PAIR
IT'S THEIR BIG DAY
COS THEY'RE STILL THERE
