The Light - Oli Barton

Yesterday
All I wanted was an easy lay
Bent spines
Under a cheap duvet
Just a momentary place to stay
That's fine

You were jumping on my bones after several lines
We both get what we want
Well I got mine
The sycophantic kicks of half past nine
They're gone, they're gone. they're gone

That shaky walk
That vacant smile
The tacky threads and
The put on style
The chicken legs
The brittle charms
The clip-on hair
The fake Louboutins

You see the light has left your eyes
You're sleeping here tonight and it don't seem wrong
And now I swear I don't want to play
I've been trying to catch a break
Before the lights turn on
And now it's gone

Hypnotised
I thought you said that you were five foot five
Come on
Well my six pack's late
It might well be here on the second date

That shaky walk
That vacant smile
The tacky threads and
The put on style
The chicken legs
The brittle charms
The clip-on hair
The fake Louboutins

You see the light has left your eyes
You're sleeping here tonight and it don't seem wrong
And now I swear I don't want to play
I've been trying to catch a break
Before the lights turn on
And now it's gone

And now it's gone
And now it's gone

It didn't seem to matter when we first sat down
The casual conversation just goes round and round
And now we're back at yours and it's going down
Oh god, oh god, oh god

You see the light has left your eyes
You're sleeping here tonight and it don't seem wrong
And now I swear I don't want to play
I've been trying to catch a break
Before the lights turn on
And now it's gone
