Elbow - Honey Sun lyrics

I live and die by the hot
And cold in strangers’ eyes
But danger lies behind the
Tape across my door
I know a place where angels lace the lemonade
And I cannot stay where all
The broken plans were made

Broken devotion can I jump in the gun
And fly over the ocean
Can I jump in the gun
And string up a net across Lafayette
And sing of my deeds while I’m gone
And I'll spin some lies to tell you upon
My return from the ends of the earth
She and I would death defy and promenade
She and I were profligate as de rigueur
She and I were for a Burton Taylor made
She and I won't find another me and her

Broken devotion can I jump in the gun
And fly over the ocean
Can I jump in the gun
And string up a net across Lafayette
And sing of my deeds while I’m gone
And I'll spin some lies to tell you upon
My return from the ends of the earth

My sunflower my ringpip
Oh love like a sundown harbour
Oh love like a falling bomb oh my love
Give her wings and armour oh my love
Gotta be long gone

Broken devotion can I jump in the gun
And fly over the ocean
Can I jump in the gun
And string up a net across Lafayette
And sing of my deeds while I’m gone
And I'll spin some lies to tell you upon
My return from the ends of the earth
