“We wrote ‘Soft Like Clay’ in an asbestos haze on a building site in Peckham. We were too broke to afford a rehearsal...
[Verse 1]
Are you gonna shape me? (Gonna, gonna)
Mold me into your own way?
And are you gonna make make make me?
Are you gonna, gonna, gonna, gonna, gonna, gonna, gonna, gonna
[Pre-Chorus]
Gonna shape me in behind the eyes
Gonna paint me colours that you like
[Chorus]
So are you gonna shape me, oh
I am soft like clay
And do you wanna make me, make me, make me
Mould me in your way
[Verse 2]
And you're gonna break me, oh
Did you mistake me
Are you gonna shape me
Leave me far behind
Gonna waste me
When I lose my shine
[Chorus]
So are you gonna shape me, ooh
I am soft like clay
And do you wanna remake me, make me, make me
Mould me in your way
What's the tempo of your heart tonight
What's the sentence that your voice will write
And do you wanna remake me, make me, make me
Mould me in your way
So are you gonna shape me, ooh
I am soft like clay
And do you wanna remake me, make me, make me
Mould me in your way
Soft like clay
Beaty Heart released Soft Like Clay on Wed May 25 2016.
