[Verse 1]
I don't care
If only I could say that and not feel so sick and scared
I don't care
If only I could say that, if only my eyes would close
[Chorus]
Jesus brilliant, you used to laugh
Walking these gorgeous blocks
This top is the place where nobody goes
You just imagine, you just imagine it all
[Verse 2]
Every day I lie here and know that it's true
All I really want is you
Please come back, please come back
Like all the other ones do
[Chorus]
Jesus brilliant, you used to laugh
Walking these gorgeous blocks
This top is the place where nobody goes
You just imagine, oh, you just imagine it all
[Outro]
Please come back
Please come back, all of you
Please come back
Please come back, all of you

finally coming to my senses – something of a milestone lyric this one – and good fun spending the night getting just the right spinning top sound take!!!
