about

Written in Brussels while visiting Fabienne. It is for her.

lyrics

I would like you to hollow me
Fill up tin cans with my might have been’s
And label them men I would like to meet

I would like you to.
I would like you to.

I would like to make one last request
To reach your hand deep inside my chest
And pick out the bits you had left behind

I would like you to.
I would like you to.

Chorus:
And if these tin canned remmnants, filled with this tin man’s heart’s intent’s
clatter from shelving down on to the floor
Extinguish this songs desire and silence this tin pan choir singing these distant and threadbare melodies.

Don’t feed me intentions, my best of intentions, I’m full of intentions
and there’s so much to do.

I would like you to tear at me
Toothpick ligaments from teeth
and dissasociate my calf from my knee

and you from me
and you from me

Chorus

so much to do
so much to do

Xtro:

Wash our feet of x4
Wash our feet of clay x3
of clay x2
