Unfortunately the only proper version of the song on Youtube is the one off We Lost the Skyline, which is OK, but just that. For the definitive, full band version I’ve come to love (the one from the In Absentia B-Sides), click here. You won’t regret it!
According to my last.fm page, I’ve listened to this song 30 times in the past few weeks. That sounds like an underestimation.
So you have been of use
And you have been abused
You know you look pale today
Your lipstick has gone astray
You sold out and lost your looks
You gave away all your books
(You should drown with me)
Your coil has been wound up tight
Unwind it with me tonight
(You should drown with me)
Tyre tracks Fresh on the ground
Where she will be found
Held under the water
Resting there in a stream
View from the cold water
Buried in green
Orange filter sky
Your drowning in family there
When will you come up for air
(You should drown with me)
Don’t feel you let ’em down
Cos they have already drowned
(You should drown with me)
