lyrics

He’s Allerton-esque and you’re out of your comfort zone this train’s being held at the platform I’m prone orange noise on the board beneath remnant of Soho I’m a beacon of light and they suck all the air from the room he crumples up you would freak if you knew but out of love I’ll cover up gently...

Just hold it together, boy
Hold it together, boy
Try to hold it together, boy
Can you hold it together, boy?

Vermillion skies reflect earth brown eyes flash fear take him back to your flat to hold hands until the bruise appears I could handle a piece of that but we were nowhere near embracing the past so long ago that parental advice what did they know how to pinpoint the instant that showed the horror before me...

Just hold it together, boy
Hold it together, boy
Try to hold it together, boy
Can you hold it together, boy?

Hold on because a pin-prick could burst this imaginary of mine

Your fantasies may vary but
This whole thing’s getting way too much
And time’s running out
Our time’s running out
The cuts were deep, I know
We spilled our lives on rock’n’roll
And time’s running out
Our time’s running out
We’re tumbling together
Like Hellbent & Leather
Surrounded by ghosts in the edit suite
Don’t freeze frame, hell no!
Your life goes straight to video
And time’s running out
Our time’s running out

Your fantasies may vary but
This whole thing’s getting way too much
And time’s running out
Our time’s running out
The cuts were deep, I know
We spilled our lives on rock’n’roll
And time’s running out
Our time’s running out
We’re crashing together
Scars gouged out of leather
Surrounded by stars of the blogosphere
Don’t freeze frame, hell no!
Your life goes straight to video
Time’s running out
Hold on cos we’ve got ten hits to nail this
Before you press rewind
