When we were young

i touched your face
and you crumpled
like a tissue paper dolly
oh my golly
golly gosh
oh my gosh

when we were young
we wanted to live in
skyscrapers
be seen in newspapers
we would have motorbikes
if we did
what we were bid
by us when we were young

when i touched you
you opened up
you broke me up
i realised that lies
are better than flowers
and all hours with you
will be wasted hours

you know
you'd think
you'd think you'd think twice
before fucking with me
you know
you'd think
you'd think it through
before inviting me
to fuck with you
but you never do

if we had had a clue
we would never have done
all the things we do
if we had had a clue.

Awesome

My god is greater than your god
yours wants us to comply
or else we die
mine just wants us to get by.

My god is greater than your god
yours wants blood
mine wants nothing for us
but good.

Your god is awesome
he made the trees, the stars, the sky
the earth and everything
that crawls upon it
but it crawls
bowed down by awe.

Your god is awesome
jealous and vengeful
demanding and cruel
compared with him
mine is so small.

My god is tiny
living inside me
a god of forgotten places
corners and traces.

My god is tiny
you cannot find him
aren't even searching
as though you are blinded

we all need reminding
there's awesome inside us
from time to time
we all need to find it.
