When the Angels Play Their Drum Machines

And we drove, on a wet and windy road
To the coast, to a dirty seaside town
Found a room, in a hotel by the sea
Unpacked our bags,
And then she looked at me, and I said

'Let me, let you, let me down again'
She said 'no'
'Let me, let you, let me down again'
She said 'no'

'Please draw the curtains,
Unplug the phone
Let's mess the sheets
And give our hearts a home
We are both adults,
Our eyes are open wide
Let's push away
The world outside'

Moving to the west end was a big, big, big mistake
We lost all our money and we got mostly heartache
Some nights she would sigh, and place her head upon my lap
And she would cry,
I couldn't stop her shaking, I said

'Let me, let you, let me down again'
She said 'no'
'Let me, let you, let me down again',
She said 'no'

'Please draw the curtains,
Unplug the phone
Let's mess the sheets
And give our hearts a home
We are both adults,
Our eyes are open wide
Let's push away
The world outside'

'Let me, let you, let me down again'
