Black Holes For The Young
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Lots of sun for you young boy
Lots of sun for you today
Subsidise the opera forget coal
Sit around in the London smog
Cappuccinos amongst the fumes
I breathe it in then down the gym
Yes I'm on a witch-hunt now
And paracetamol my only drug
You've got some black holes for the young
You won't feel it when it's gone
You've got some black holes for the young
You won't know when it's gone
When it's gone
No sun for you young boy
It will hurt your lily-white skin
Don't think it will hurt your mind
We'll be the ones who will give you soul
Close enough to fill those holes
This tenderness slipping through my fingers
Sandy sandy feet - ice cream to sleep
And no more feelings that you can feel
You've got some black holes for the young
You won't feel it when it's gone
You've got some black holes for the young
You won't know when it's gone
When it's gone
When it's gone
When it's gone
When it's gone
When it's gone
Gone
You've got some black holes for the young
You won't feel it when it's gone
You've got some black holes for the young
You won't know when it's gone
When it's gone
