45degrees (demo live take)

from Soft Isolation by Alma

/

about

A live take of a song that I'm, as of writing (March 2010), still getting around to recording properly. Another true story.

lyrics

Long day
Looking for somewhere to rest your head
While I creep quietly around the house

Like a spider in the threads of your limbs
You won't let me go
Still I find you interesting

The carburettor in your lungs
It rattles and moans
It won't let me get any sleep

Still you interest me
With your train-crash teeth
I'd hang around in here
But this bed is stuck at 45 degrees

That shotgun wound in your chest
Is it real?
Oh silly me, you're just trying to impress

And did you really want me?
No, I didn't think so
You just wanted to get some sleep

Still you interest me
Your confusion is kinda sweet
But I can't stick around here
On this bed that's stuck at 45 degrees

And you interest me
As I creep away from you
Into the spare room
Where at least I'll get a bit of fucking sleep

Never was a lad like you
Never was a lad like you
Never was a lad like you

Don't you know?
Didn't you figure that out?
