A non-album single written and recorded for the Danny Boyle-directed movie of the same name, this also marks Ash’s debut as a four-piece with the addition of guitarist and backing vocalist Charlotte Hatherley.
[Verse 1]
I smoke myself into a haze in the afternoon
Enveloped heart, and the air is cool
Put on your dress, White Goddess
And settle in as the weather folds
In the slow haze of the afternoon
Swaying hips made like a gun
Blackest sails, the most beautiful
Star
[Pre-Chorus]
In the world, in the air
On my tongue
Before my eyes, beyond the stars
Beneath the sun
[Chorus]
So take me in your arms again
Lead me in my dreams again
So what is it worth?
I'll sell my soul
What is it worth?
Only you know
[Verse 2]
You were conceived in my heart
Came like a dream
To save me from my mortality
Put on your dress, White Goddess
And settle in as the weather folds
Our hearts will be entwined when I die
You'll see me through till the end of time
No earthly bride, the most beautiful
Star
[Pre-Chorus]
In the world, in the air
On my tongue
Before my eyes, beyond the stars
Beneath the sun
[Chorus]
So take me in your arms again
Lead me in my dreams again
So what is it worth?
I'll sell my soul
What is it worth?
Only you know
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
Take me in your arms again
Lead me in my dreams again
So what is it worth?
I'll sell my soul
What is it worth?
I'll sell my soul
What is it worth?
I'll sell my soul
What is it worth?
