Dizraeli, The Small Gods - White Rum lyrics

We made ourselves small last night
Expelled air shrunk to a
Pinprick of starlight
And held there breathless
Suspended in the seas we'd sweated
Time puddled to a deep green second
'Til the phone rang
I threw it to the wall with both hands
I threw it to the wall with both hands
And fell back into you
Tangle of cracks and sinews
So like nothing you could die from it
Small white hair on your chin I spotted
That's the thin line we walk we roll
We deep talk, we raw sex, we seesaw
'Til the brass balls that
Are on your headboard
Knock plaster off the walls all of the sudden
And we pause panting all gape and action
We are all gape and action red rubbed skin
We are all ache and atoms
Suddenly conscious of us
Back to base, and love
Is there a contract that states how
Much eye contact to make
I mean, we met last week
And he's back next week
Which sets our scene to be a short one
Remind me not to fall in
I'm a sucker for shared
Showers and slow mornings
You're so good at that thing, don't stop love
But love is so not us so not now
So what do I call you when
We're moved and the hour's late?
I'm still hiding my shoes
From your housemates for heaven's sake

But really now, fuck it
Good to get to know you, so cozy
Fuck it, missioning alone gets lonely
Good to know you want me, if for sex only
Let's touch toes, see where that goes
Fuck it, love fuck it
Good to get to know you, so cozy
Fuck it, missioning alone gets lonely
Good to know you want me, if for sex only
Let's touch toes, see where that goes
Fuck it, love hold me

But listen
If the phone rings again, the spell's broken
I'm a touch tired, holding myself open
When I'm sore headed from the time we
Both spent soaked in your sweat, my sweat
And Ted Hughes poems
Listen, whatever gets you going
Whatever gets you going, I will do that
Whatever breaks your blocks down, do that
And don't stop now, we are so cockproud
We can crow 'til we're both knocked out
And wait later do it again, babe
Sorry, not babe
But, I dare not say your name
In case of it hurting me
In case of emerging seas your death
Falls on your face as an urgent scream
And you spasm in a high phantasm
And you say: "That's the
First time that's happened"
A new day rises over Balham
And we both sleep tangled in the
Love that doesn't know me yeah

But really now, fuck it
Good to get to know you, so cozy
Fuck it, missioning alone gets lonely
Good to know you want me, if for sex only
Let's touch toes, see where that goes
Fuck it, love fuck it
Good to get to know you, so cozy
Fuck it, missioning alone gets lonely
Good to know you want me, if for sex only
Let's touch toes, see where that goes
Fuck it, love hold me
