Everything But The Girl

How much will you take

Until her heart breaks

Till she's drained of her art

Alone in the dark

Will you slice off her smile?

And fry it in style?

Will you drain her of colour?

Sell her soul by the hour?

Or will you be kinder?

Take her eyes out and blind her?

To the things that she saw

All those light years before

So that nobody knows

What she meant never grows

And it's left like a root

In a mountain of old forgotten hope
