Frontwoman Justine Frischmann began working on this song shortly after her breakup with Blur’s Damon Albarn, their relationship has been one of the most notable of the Britpop era. This song supposedly came out of Frischmann’s experimentation with mood music and a sound similar to that of Brian Eno....
What I want
Mornings to the winter and afternoons to the summer
What I want
Is for you to be waiting round the other side of every door
What I want
To walk through the wardrobe of other bodies that we have known
What I want
Fifteen minutes with you
What I want
A lover who loves me when others have loved me not
What I want
Is a big love, two spoons in a drawer, the master plan
What I want
A lover who can love me slowly
What I want
To make your heartbeat faster
What I want
Is a room with a three-bar fire, like the one you had before when you were poor and I just liked you more
What I want
To be in the park in the morning, the long shadows on the grass and the swans still asleep
What I want
To love you everywhere and everyhow
What I want
To kiss you until our lips are numb
What I want
Kiss you 'til everywhere hurts
I want
To hear the rain against the window again
