| This chair where I’m sat, where I’m at
|
| Where your bomber jacket’s hanging on the back
|
| I put the arm around me
|
| I put my heart on the sleeve
|
| (I'd hold your hand were it filled)
|
| But you’re not with me
|
| Not with me
|
| (I'll put it on fill the build)
|
| Not sitting with me
|
| Not with me
|
| Sew up the bottom, neck and cuffs
|
| Zip it up, check your pockets
|
| You ain’t lost us, trust your gut
|
| (In here it’s dark) I hold my knees
|
| A coat of armour on me, like your arms around me
|
| (I'm holding safe within this fort)
|
| But you’re not with me
|
| Not with me
|
| (I'm never gonna leave if you’re)
|
| Not unzipping me
|
| Unpick me
|
| Pick me, pick me up, pack me up
|
| Up in your backpack
|
| In your jacket, take me home
|
| This chair is not house
|
| Nor home if you’re not sitting with me
|
| Not with me
|
| Pick me, pick me up, pack me up
|
| Up in your backpack
|
| In your jacket, take me home
|
| This chair is not house
|
| Nor home if you’re not sitting with me
|
| Not with me
|
| I feel the lining against my skin wearing thin
|
| Limbs could rip it, need a clip or safety pin
|
| Hold together again, boy where you been?
|
| Come back a minute, your jacket, I’m still in it
|
| Forgot it, with me, you lost it
|
| I’m losing stitches, wires crossing
|
| Pilling polycotton, 50−50 natural plastic
|
| Fabricated threads forgotten, cottoned onto you in patches
|
| You want square, that quilted fabric laid out even on a mattress
|
| Pick me, pick me up, pack me up
|
| Up in your backpack
|
| In your jacket, take me home
|
| This chair is not house
|
| Nor home if you’re not sitting with me
|
| Not with me
|
| Pick me, pick me up, pack me up
|
| Up in your backpack
|
| In your jacket, take me home
|
| This chair is not house
|
| Nor home if you’re not sitting with me
|
| Not with me
|
| Is this hell?
|
| Is this help?
|
| Bombshell or bomb shelter?
|
| Am I hell?
|
| Am I help?
|
| Bombshell or bomb shelter?
|
| Is this the remains or a structure?
|
| Bombshell or bomb shelter?
|
| Do we remain?
|
| The bomber as the shelter
|
| The held, the helpless
|
| If this blows up then can we reconstruct it?
