hippo burpday

well this might seem like a somewhat morbid choice of lyrics to celebrate turning 33 but, as deeply moving as this track is, it always leaves me wanting to leap at life rather than run from it...

the album is out on the 23rd in the UK. if you don't make swift purchase, elves will come after you with sticks bigger than themselves. they will show no mercy for such imbecilic self denial of audio pleasure. why not pre-order? now. go. do it.

this could be my last day, by duke special

I let go to feel the fall
And know that I’m alive
I see my breath and think of God
And everything I have

This could be my last day
This could be my last day

I touch your grave it comforts me
Tells me to be true
Everyone’s a burning star
Time is running through

This could be my last day
This could be my last day

Everything is fragile
Everything is broken
You were full of living colours
And such a sense of wonder
Prophecy is written
Prophecy is spoken
I wish I could have saved you
But I think I’m going under

This could be my last day
This could be my last day

11 years and 8 september
Never be the same
Charing Cross and woven hats
Flinching at your name

This could be my last day
This could be my last day

Everything is fragile
Everything is broken
You were full of living colours
And such a sense of wonder
Prophecy is written
Prophecy is spoken
I wish I could have saved you
But I saw you going under
I wish I could have saved you
But I think I’m going under

This could be my last day
This could be my last day
This could be my last day
This could be my last day
