Lyrics The Delgados

The Delgados

Smaller Mammals

Sit around and watch it fall around

See my hands as my head becomes my knees

I know I'm right and still I know you're not

I believe in a lifetime's guarantee

It's a perfect day watching out in the rain

The only time I couldn't breathe was when they came home

Don't stand aside and don't give others gin

But believe in a lifetime's guarantee

Don't ask questions I still can't answer

Stand aside and let your happy breathe

It's a bankrupt way, sitting inside when it rains

I came home and said "Hello"

You said "I'm still alone"
