Catherine Opens a Window

[Verse]

So you turn over

Whisper into my shoulder

That you're not clever enough

To be sleeping with me

Now, it's not about schooling

It's more about using

What you've been given

What you've got

And what you've got is more than enough

I remember when cancer

Was just a constellation

A starry eyed crustacean

With nothing to say of whether you and I

Live or die

I don't remember Glasgow

Until I was fourteen

It's where the people I know

Tend to let themselves go

Whеn they've got something to bring to an еnd

[Chorus]

Well it's one, two, three

Steps in the cul de sac, you and me

Your feet on the ground

Mine hitting your back

We're running so fast that we

Smash into the bins

And we tumble over

Catherine opens a window

"Now, boys, that's not how you play"

Catherine just wait, what a peculiar thing to say

[Verse]

I remember Maxwell

I remember his mum too

Her hands in the cool drawer of the fridge

And her man's fists on the window ledge

I remember Michaela

I remember her last name

I know she could dance, I know she could hide

And that she won a netball game

But she's gone now, sticks in the corner

There's a bus ticket in the breast pocket of her green blazer

Her mum has hung it up to dry in the airing cupboard

In the hope that she might need it this morning after

Just once

Maybe forever, again

[Chorus]

Well it's one, two, three

Steps in the cul de sac, you and me

Your feet on the ground

Mine hitting your back

We're running so fast that we

Smash into the bins

And we tumble over

Catherine opens a window

"Now, boys, that's not how you play"

Catherine just wait

"Well you know, you'll both have jobs one day"
