Lyrics

I'm a Dirty Attic

What's so good about hungry hearts?
Beating on the table when your plate is full
I'm a body of dreams for you
Ah, I'm a dirty attic

Milk-worn monuments fill me up
If you don't paint the ruin in the background
I was thinking about truth
Ah, it's not automatic

This night, drive me wild. Ah, row away
It's like I'm untied. Ah row you say?

Well I want to make sense with you
And I want to make sense with you

You say something, like, "stop the bus
And I'll see you in the morning when the light's up"
I was drinking the dew
Ah, it's just automatic

Take care golden hair, draw me a sky
Paint me in a picture with a new face
I'm a body of dreams for you
Ah, I'm a body of dreams for you
Ah, I'm a body of dreams for you
Ah, I'm a dirty attic

This night, drive me wild. Ah, row away
It's like I'm untied. Ah, row you say?
Well I want to make sense with you
And I want to make sense with you
And I wanna make sense, with you
With you
With you

Her fifth album saw Cate Le Bon escape to the Lake District, wiling away long evenings at the piano and spending her days, erm, making furniture?!
