  • I fucked up
    I'm not the first to do it
    Must forgo now, your smile
    Off the wall, beige
    I'm fixtures and fittings now
    Call me out but call me

    'Cause there's something down here and it's living under the floorboards (ah)
    It's grabbed me round the neck with its long and slender claws (ah)
    Oh, don't leave me here, baby, don't leave me completely
    'Cause I might not get back to myself at all

    St. Charles Square
    This year's migration
    Basement flat with window bars
    Pauli's outside
    Spare me the gloaters and the pain
    I don't want it anymore

    'Cause there 's something down here and it's living under the floorboards (ah)
    It's up and down the clock of the townhall back in time (ah)
    Oh, I'll ride with you, baby, I'll ride with you forever
    But we might not get back to ourselves at all
    No Tesco disco

    The room is shrinking fast around me
    It's grabbed me by the ankle and pulled me under
    Loneliness I've been here before
    'Cause every generation has its gilded poseurs

    Weird vibrations in the basement
    I don't like this scene
    Pauli's ghost come back to haunt me
    Think I'm gonna Writer/s: Damon Albarn, David Rowntree, Graham Coxon, Steven James
