Oh Gabrielle 03:08
Someone as pretty as you could be a model - that’s what he told you Someone as clever as you knew that tomorrow he’d leave without attention or affection or a message or a number or a name That’s OK - it’s what you wanted, for the record, and you would’ve done the same But he left a little token Time-shifted, you drifted Weeks passing in static inaction He kicked it - well scripted You got the message and saw the attraction Oh, Gabrielle Uh-huh, you’re up! Try and write it all down - a list on the back of a scrap of paper But as the choices whirl round, statistically speaking, it doesn’t make the blindest bit of difference to what you think you know you oughta feel Tear it up - just for the drama for the camera for the record - it’s the deal Are you ready for your close-up? We paid it - post-dated A small token for canon reactions Exploited - you enjoyed it In the way you enjoyed the contractions Oh, Gabrielle But listen up! As I watched the streaming live video I was struck with paranoid feeling, oh no Oh baby, what’ve I done? Still so obsessed with being number one Another notch, another parade One whisper - and now it’s all over London Oh, Gabrielle I’m so sorry, Gabrielle We’re so sorry, Gabrielle But cheers anyway

Silver shadows creep Across the ground Where sharp-eyed, soft-skinned boys Drift slowly by the water We were interrupted by the call Central control Your number has come up Shut down and go to base Oh no, no My levels are all wrong So I’m hooked up and turned on and on and on but Yeah Such sweet delay It stacks up but I will get out of the woods someday Oh, yeah This slow decay It’s on trust that I will get out of the woods someday I lie back in the chair And stroke the screen Those dead-air afternoons And oh, so many boys Faces disintegrating into snow Central control “Your youth has gone to waste Get out and seize the day” If I can only make it through the door Before I fall and hit the floor Hit, hit it now! You burn the brightest when the darkness wraps round tight Tear up the rules, this shit is new, take me tonight I can’t explain why now when time’s so short We lock horns, we lock horns Just hold my hand - it’s almost over Such sweet delay... I’ll be out of the woods someday Yeah, yeah This slow decay But I will be out of the woods Tick-tock Five o’clock The dawn’s not far away I’ll wait here with the light on
