The night–or two nights–before the morning after are detailed in “On.” It begins as a minimal techno thrum with a bassline that throbs at the back of the head. Then it all kicks off. “Silver slugs lined up like bullets, rolled up twenties they disappear, you make my tongue loose.” Is this an unasham...
On Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am on, switched on
A sudden clearness, a clarity
Hidden away, in every locked toilet
I've been waiting for you in the Joiners Arms
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I know your name, I know your name
I've danced with you, we're all friends here
Silver slugs lined up like bullets
Rolled up twenties, they disappear
[Chorus]
You make my tongue loose, you make my tongue loose
I am hopeful and stutter-free
You make my tongue loose, you make my tongue loose
I am hopeful
[Verse 2]
Friday night I do all the talking
A pint and a fight, the dance floor is mine
Truth serum and limbs that won't listen
Drunken "I love you"s, on top of the world
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And when it runs out
We're chasing something we'll never catch
And when it runs out
We buy more
A flatness so bleak
I've been bitten by a vampire
A flatness bleaker
Than the one it replaced
[Chorus]
You make my tongue loose, you make my tongue loose
I am hopeful and stutter-free
You make my tongue loose, you make my tongue loose
I am hopeful
[Bridge]
I can charm, I can charm them all
I can charm them all
I can charm, I can charm them all
I can charm them all
[Chorus]
You make my tongue loose
You make my tongue loose
I am hopeful and stutter-free
You make my tongue loose
You make my tongue loose
I am hopeful
[Outro]
I can charm, I can charm them all
I can charm them all
I can charm, I can charm them all
I can charm them all
