Thea Gilmore - My Beautiful Defence lyrics

Hey, looks like sleep is here Its two thirty AM, the town has been cleared and The traffic has stopped for the minute at least We lie like a symphony under the sheets And earlier today you said "you know, girl "We're like two different halves of two different worlds" And I said "that's fine, who says difference repels?" Like some crackpot play or some sketch of fate We've carried the scripts and the times and the dates In each others arms and our bodies are spent And you've got the roll of my beautiful defence And I spent some time trying to sum up your eyes In a cafe in Oldham Street under Indian skies Through the racks of your history and all the crossed lives And you looked so sad with all those ghosts on your trail When they claw at your skin you're all secrets and veils You say "Its dragging me under the riptide" and I said "When the whole world comes down I'll hold it up round your head" Like some crackpot play or some sketch of fate We've carried the scripts and the times and the dates In each others arms and our bodies are spent And you've got the roll of my beautiful defence Beautiful defence Maybe we can change the world, it might just take a while If we're gonna fight our corner we're gonna do it with style You've got the beauty and you've got the heart And that is as good a place as any to start You're my beautiful defence You're my beautiful defence
