Retread
" A deep and moving love song with a melancholic, countryish timbre that contains this beautifully doomed closing verse before blasting off into outer melodic space." (NME)


My girl is just a retread
I lost her when I hit the breaks
Our love hit science fiction levels
Now I`m bending 'cos I`ve made a mistake
Here I stand afraid
With no more to say

Now I feel so insecure
I can`t save
something I feel so much for
Won`t you stay
and leave a light for me

Now I found myself redeemed
'cos no one's seen the bad in me
Or been where I`ve been
And not turned to leave

And now I feel so insecure
I can`t save
something I feel so much for,
Won`t you stay
You know if you had a wing
you`d be the last to know
you could fly

He strokes your hair
to keep you down
Will you fight?
Let's see you fight
Will you fight? Will you fight?
Will you fight? Will you fight?
Will you fight? Will you fight?
Will you fight? Will you fight?

The good will out
and I`ll come clean
There`s nothing in-between
You and me
so let me go my way
