Porridge Radio - You Will Come Home

Swallow, come home, is it more than you bargained for?
I went outside and I saw it all
Taking your time to decide if it's worth it
And I stay at home seeing ghosts from the past

Giving up talking, my walls, just myself and you
Went so far, far away, east this time
Do you know what I've done, that I've seen it all?
Do you know what I need, what I'm waiting for?
And I'm wishing myself into obscurity
You will come home, I'll have seen to it all

Cutting the edges off everything, talking to everyone
Try to make sense and symbol out of the attention
The outline will harden, start to look like something
Shapes taking their places and colours will form
We talk possibility, everything I can see
Making you listen and hold onto the hope
Far away, far from me, everything glistens
You know that I've seen the way it begins

And I would do anything to see it again

I would do anything to see what I'm waiting for
I would do anything to see what I'm waiting for
I would do anything to see what I'm waiting for
I would do anything to see what I'm waiting for
I would do anything to see what I'm waiting for

Swallow, come home, and take care of the mess I've made
Swallow, come home, I'm afraid of the answer
But I know my heart, I'm too much for a man to take
Swallow me, mother will bury us both
Swallow, you make it so easy to love you, oh
I know nothing else gives back what it takes
I've been here before, but always forgetting
But I would do anything to see it again

I would do anything to see it again
I would do anything to see it again
I would do anything to see it again

Porridge Radio - Birthday Party

A fear of death, a fear of dying
Why won't the dog pick up the stick?
Panic sweats you wake up crying
Always feeling kind of sick

I want one feeling all the time
I don't want to feel a thing
And if I die then you can keep it
I won't tell you what it means

I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved

I'm always playing solitaire
I always kiss you on the lips
And if I die, then you can keep it
I don't want to feel a thing

Always on my best behavior
Sometimes I can't hold it in
Always wait until it's over
I don't want to feel a thing

I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved

You always liked me for some reason
I don't care about a thing
Are you aware that this is broken?
I don't want to feel a thing

Invite me to your birthday party
Watch me cry across the room
I don't want to be forgotten
I don't want to be alone

A fear of death, a fear of dying
Why won't the dog pick up the stick?
Panic sweats, you wake up crying
Always feeling kind of sick

I want one feeling all the time
I don't want to feel a thing
And if I die, then you can keep it
I won't tell you what it means

I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved

Porridge Radio - Rotten

This year the taste of apples changed and I did a bad thing
This year the taste of apples changed and I say what I need now

Trying to walk on the balls of my feet
It hurts, it hurts, my puny muscles ache
Trying to sing away my rottenness
You tell me I should go outside
You say "Get as much rest as you need
But you'd feel better if you ate the things that made you well"

Outside, outside, it's cold, it's cold
Inside, inside, I can be alone
Outside, outside, it's cold, it's cold
Inside, inside, I can be alone

This year the taste of apples changed and I did a bad thing
And I take whatever I need now
It stops the rot from spreading
It stops the rot from spreading
It stops the rot from spreading

Set the dogs on me
(It stops the rot from spreading)
I'm afraid of taking what I need (It stops the rot from spreading)
Set the dogs on me (It stops the rot from spreading)
I'm afraid of taking what I need (It stops the rot from spreading)

Porridge Radio - Splintered

I got a splinter last time I visited you
But my body pushed it out
I got a splinter last time I visited you
Didn't mean anything to you
Shouldn't mean anything to you

Don't want my body to be touched
Don't want to mean anything to you
Don't want to mean anything to you
Don't want to mean anything to you
Don't want to mean anything to you
Don't want to mean anything to you

I look up to myself
I'd do anything for you
I'd do anything for you

My body pushes it out
My body pushes it out
My body pushes it out
My body pushes it out

Don't cut me out, don't cut me out
Don't cut me out, don't cut me out
My body pushes it out
Don't cut me out, don't cut me out
My body pushes it out

I don't want to be forgiven
(You cut me out)
Just want to feel like I'm around
(You can't cut me out)
I don't want to be forgiven
(You cut me out)
I just want to feel like I can be around

Don't cut me out
Don't cut me out
Don't cut me out
Don't cut me out
Don't cut me out
Don't cut me out
Don't cut me out
Don't cut me out
Don't cut me out
My body pushes you out

(Don't cut me out, don't cut me out)
(Don't cut me out, don't cut me out)
My body pushes you out
(Don't cut me out, don't cut me out)
(Don't cut me out, don't cut me out)
(Don't cut me out, don't cut me out)
My body pushes you out
(Don't cut me out, don't cut me out)
(Don't cut me out, don't cut me out)
(Don't cut me out, don't cut me out)
My body pushes you out

Porridge Radio - Back To The Radio

Lock all the windows and march up the stairs
And you're looking to me but I'm so unprepared for it
Nothing's the same and I swear that I'm haunted
It's not fair to you and it's not what I wanted
But we cannot get better
If we can't talk about it

And I miss what we were but you've closed yourself off to me
We sit here together, the same as we've always been
Laughing and talking but I want to cry to you
Laughing and talking but I want to cry to you

Sit still, do nothing, what if it mattered?
I'm trying to help without breaking or shattering
We almost got better, we're so unprepared for this
Running straight at it
I'm not the right man for this

Lock all the windows and shut all the doors
And get into the house and lie down on the cold, hard floor
Talk back to the radio, think loud in the car
I miss everything now, we're worth nothing at all
So, lock all the windows and shut all the doors
And get into the house and lie down on the cold, hard floor
Talk back to the radio, think loud in the car
I miss everything now, we're worth nothing at all
So, lock all the windows and shut all the doors
And get into the house and lie down on the cold, hard floor
Talk back to the radio, think loud in the car
I miss everything now, we're worth nothing at all
