Lyrics Everything About You - Robyn Hitchcock

Everything About You

My brain begins to bleed
You’ve got what i need
You will be my friend
You’re walking on the floor
In your marshmallow shoes
I never hear a sound
There’s nothing i can lose
You’re turning on the light
I hear your breathing, low
You’re looking for your stick
You got some place to go
I love everything about you:
I love your crooked smile
The way i try to please you
And have done for a while
It could go either way
You could blow up or be cool
I love everything about you
I’m just back at school
Give the time away
Guilt your life away
Got no way to make it always happen
From a verbal bath
When you’re feeling sad
Just remember: all the eyes will be growing on you
I love everything about you:
I love your summer look
I love your freeform heels
You’re sharpening the blade
You’re gonna show me how it feels
You say «lessons must be learned
Our needles are on guard»
«i don’t know what i’ve done»
«oh don’t you?
well, think hard.»
There’s a crowd of individual, separate souls
With their death wishes, and their personal goals
When you’re walking through the floor
You say «here's one, here’s two, here’s three, here’s four.
one, two, three,
here’s four.»
I’m looking at what you’ve folded round me
I hear the kindness in your voice
The empathy of the torturer who has no choice
On rails on cruelty we learn
To blow the candles out
To keep us all alive
To keep us all in doubt
