  • Then I put my codes in the machine
    But the world I found was made of faulty dreams (of faulty dreams)

    I was on my own there in the psychic silence
    I was looking out for some other kite to
    Fly out of the doldrums and recall the log
    From the early database of your love (of your love)

    Fairy light companions
    To the dark maths that catapult
    Us into imagined worlds
    Seems a mockery remote

    Interlocking cluster bombs
    Like drum and bass, I thought
    Close the wells of poison
    Fill them up with love

    I was on my own there
    I was all alone
    I got lost, intangible
    But that's the place you reach when
    You can't help yourself anymore
    And the madness come
    You'll be falling into the bass and drum (bass and drum)

    Fairy light companions
    To the dark maths that catapult
    Us into imagined worlds
    Seems a mockery remote

    'Cause I got no choice in it
    And I'm not so cold
    I could look you in the eye
    And not recall (and not recall)

    Don't think that my heart is a sad affair without you
    Individual actions change the world
    Fill them up with love Writer/s: Damon Albarn, Greg Kurstin
