[Verse 1]
So I was sleepin' when you got up
And you were sleepin' when I git in
Oh, how can we be driftin' apart
When we were never close to begin?
[Pre-Chorus]
I-I-I don't know how to sleep with coins on my eyes, yeah
Oh, like conversations heard through a phone
The filter sits there bone white and dry
Oh, you were always playin' the room
And I was always playin' for time
[Chorus]
There is a part of me
That never goes away
And now that part has gone
It left so suddenly
I never heard it go
I never heard you leave
I am a sham
You are a shell
I am a slope
You are a hill
Oh, birds and bees and legs on leather
I'm unstuck when we're together
[Interlude]
Ugh
[Verse 2]
So I brushed all the dust from my tomb
And my bones, they rattle white as my teeth
And sometimes what you fear never comes
And sometimes what you fear never leaves
[Pre-Chorus]
I-I-I don't know how to sleep with coins on my eyes, yeah
No, I don't know how to sleep with coins on my eyes, yeah
[Chorus]
There is a part of me
That never goes away
And now that part has gone
It left so suddenly
I never heard it go
I never heard you leave
I am a sham
You are a shell
I am a slope
You are a hill
Oh, birds and bees and legs on leather
I'm unstuck when we're together
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
So I was sleepin' when you got up
And I was sleepin' when you got up
And I was sleepin' when you got up
Yeah, I was sleepin' when you got up
[Chorus]
There is a part of me
That never goes away
And now that part has gone
It left so suddenly
I never heard it go
I never heard you leave
I am a sham
You are a shell
I am a slope
You are a hill
[Post-Chorus]
A bat, a ball, a rope, a chain
A marble bust in acid rain
A car, a cross, a pile of rocks
The puttin' on the takin', off
I say it once and not again
A marble bust in acid rain
[Outro]
And I am

This was written in a period when we’d moved out of Camberwell. I don’t know at what point in lockdown that would’ve been, but I was sat at home in my bedroom, and I got a little four-track recorder and was just trying to record things like Guided By Voices—just not necessarily overthinking songs fr...
