His Shadow - Hudson and Troop

Oh me and my guy We got his 'n' his electric shavers His 'n' his jeans His 'n' his trainers Two grown dudes in a similar size - me and my guy In synchrony at five foot eleven in height I love looking in the mirror standing side by side Wearing his 'n' his suits with his 'n' his ties And everything's so interchangeable We can swap things whenever we choose If I'm bored of my wardrobe I'll raid his drawers I'll take his shorts, he'll wear my shoes And sharing these supposedly "gender-specific" things (Ooh la la la, ooh la la la) Makes me feel smug with all the convenience that brings So whatever is mine is his and whatever is his can be mine And we'll stay nauseatingly happy 'til the end of time Just me and my guy Looking back on a time in another life I never thought I could be happy or find my stride I thought relationships were for fools who liked to follow a crowd That's 'coz back in those days it seemed the odds were stacked The boys would kiss the girls on the bus at the back Turns out opposites don't necessarily always attract Now I sit snuggled up in our bedroom I guess I've become one of those following fools One who's able to share all his male underwear His 'n' his toys, his 'n' his rules And sharing these supposedly "gender-specific" things (Ooh la la la, ooh la la la) Makes us feel smug with all the convenience that brings So whatever is mine is his and whatever is his can be mine And we'll be nauseatingly happy 'til the end of time Just me and my guy Oh me and my guy Though we get to share all our "boys' toys" and toiletries That ain't where the similarities end There's no feelings of envy or jealousy Sharing crushes on all the same men (Yes!) And I never have to explain Why my little brain has been programmed this way Because oh he gets it, like I get it We're in tune and locked on the same page We got his 'n' his dreams, his 'n' his goals This his 'n' his life, it never gets old I will walk in these shoes 'til the soles have died Sometimes when we're lying under the covers at night I still get excited, it still makes me smile That I'm sharing my bed, lying side by side with another guy And there's nothing else I can compare to this Growing up we never saw these scenes Watching friends struggling to navigate the world of boys with girls Guess it wasn't for me Now sharing these supposedly "gender-specific" things (Ooh la la la, ooh la la la) Makes us feel smug with all the convenience that brings So whatever is mine is his and whatever is his can be mine And we'll stay nauseatingly happy 'til the end of time Just me and my guy Oh me and my guy Oh me and my guy

One foot in the ground One foot in the grave Don't you dare make a sound, shh Hear you from a mile away Run from the town All you need is your name And the sweat on your brow And the blood running through your veins Don't think twice You'll be dead in a second Turn your eyes From your hands to the heavens Kill your pride Turn your fear to a weapon And don't you forget it Oh, oh-oh, don't you let 'em take control And don't you let 'em break your soul It's not the devil at your door It's just your shadow on your floor Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh One eye on the clock One eye on the mirror Take a step through your thoughts Is it getting clearer? If they follow you whenever night falls Will you still listen to my call Who do you trust to knowing it all? Or knowing it all? Don't think twice You'll be dead in a second Turn your eyes From your hands to the heavens Kill your pride Turn your fear to a weapon And don't you forget it Oh, oh-oh, don't you let 'em take control And don't you let 'em break your soul It's not the devil at your door It's just your shadow on your floor Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh Tell me that you hate me Yeah, I heard it all before There is a life here for the taking Is it mine or is it yours? All I am is what you make me You're on both sides of the war It's not the devil that you're facing It's just your shadow on the floor Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh It's just your shadow on the floor

Summer is coming It will last the whole year Summer is coming It will deliver on our fears So young and so hopeful We keep on flying close The deafening scream of Nature as we touch the sun The ghost in the machine Whisper this war is won Our bones break like eggshells There's nowhere for us left to run Summer is coming It will last the whole year Summer is coming It will deliver on our fears If silence is golden When will our hearts Begin to hear

Dark future folk She ain't killin it for the sunshine Light fades on this town She ain't killin it for the dream She's got most friends, she's got no friends When she's all alone and There ain't no space in between Well maybe sometimes it's set in stone And they say 'why you've got no business here' But she says 'i've just got to feed, the devil inside Cos evil doesn't work for free Her flowing clothes, her afterglow It's neon at midnight The boundless charms of the unknown Run down hotels, hourly motels Tinted windows giving call Flash desire right through to dawn Tomorrows plans they can't withstand A chance to compromise All she knows how to give Her tiresome feet on wasted streets Thinks back ten years Stealing time to fantasize Well maybe sometimes it's set in stone And they say 'why you've got no business here' But she says 'i've just got to feed, the devil inside Cos evil doesn't work for free Well maybe sometimes it's set in stone And they say 'why you've got no business here' But she says 'i've just got to feed, the devil inside Cos evil doesn't work for free No evil doesn't work for free She ain't killing it for the dream

Marble Streets I keep on catching your pale blue eyes In this seaside bar, with the warm night air and unfamiliar skies As the hours, they float on by, The words you choose to hide away tell me that your mind is someplace far He took to you an unknown place As he held you close you felt that smile widen upon your face Then the seasons went and changed Autumn's love fell with the rain it left you both in disarray You're not alone You're not alone You're not alone It makes sense to run away When you go and see his face in everyone that turns your way Even miles and miles from here Can't escape those thoughts you hear, and the changes shades of fear I won't pretend to mend your broken past Bring down your sails and sink your anchor fast I won't try to change the shape of your heart We just want to show Show you where to start You're not alone You're not alone So take my hand and lose your feet Lets run along these ancient marble streets Just close your eyes and say goodbye There's no need at all for your disguise

Have I ever told you that your smile is so warm Have I ever told you that your heart, it leaves me torn If there's a guide to knowing your ways Give it to me now Take me out of this maze You say you think about me every day Then you say you're busy & I say OK Even the poor can afford honesty So why won't you be So straight with me And you say that you were frightened But I know this is true When I'm with you I forget I was ever born Yeah this love, It aches for more A little girl sitting on her father's knee Tuning into the radio endlessly Voices appear from lands far away Teach her the power of what people say She now sees the world trough a camera lens Capturing all the beauty of light as it blends But it's only skin deep, seems all the same She's focused so hard, she's taken herself Out of the frame And you say that you were frightened But I know this is true When I'm with you I forget I was ever born Yeah this love, It aches for more
