The Last Dance Ever - Helt

When we walked the streets together All the faces seemed to smile back And now the pavements have nothing to offer And all the faces seem to need a slap There's an unfamiliar grip On an unfamiliar handkerchief Attending to the tears on cheeks I wouldn't notice with you No matter how vicious the grief Her expression was damp and crooked Grabs onto my throat and won't let go Won't let go Won't let go Won't let go Save me from The secateurs I'll pretend I didn't hear Can't you see I'm the ghost in the wrong coat? Biting butter and crumbs There's a handsome maverick You don't talk about to keep me calm And I can't help it if I create a version That pulls you back onto his arm Please don't tell me You don't have to darling, I can sense That he painted you a gushing sunset And slayed angry panthers in your defence And he stands separate and ever deadly Clings onto my throat and won't let go Won't let go Won't let go Won't let go Save me from The secateurs I'll pretend I didn't hear Can't you see I'm a ghost in the wrong coat? Biting butter and crumbs Save me from The secateurs I'll pretend I didn't hear Can't you see I'm a ghost in the wrong coat? Biting butter and crumbs

When the winds from the Eastern quarter, And there's a pungent taste of salt upon the breeze. Something troubles your insides Like a scum upon the tides, A something washed up on the beach down by the quays. Intuition's what a girl in love relies on I should've known he only wanted to be free I drew my line upon the sand Only a fool would ever stand Between a man--and his involvement with the sea And when the tide rolls out You'll find your bed is empty and he's gone So if you ever see me talking to a sailor Some scurvy no-good mongrel of a tar You knock the drink out of my hand Push me over where I stand Take a slug at me but somewhere I won't scar Pin my body to the ground And slap my face to bring me round Then you can roll my silly ass out of this bar. For a sailor's not a man to be trusted He'll bill and coo call you his "chickadee" Oh, but when he's had his way All you'll get is his "good day", Then he'll blow a kiss and scuttle back to sea. And when the tide rolls out You'll find your bed is empty and he's gone So if you ever see me talking to a sailor, And I blithely stand there passing time of day No, don't you hesitate to think Someone's tampered with your drink And he's shaking out your handbag in the time it takes to blink And all the booze you've ever bought him He's just throwing up in the sink Just call the funny farm and carry me away! For a sailor's not a man to be trusted He's treacherous as tides and hidden reefs And just to get you up the stairs He'll quote the Bible in his prayers And before you know he's bound for Tenerife And when the tide rolls out You'll find your house is empty and he's gone And when the tide rolls out You'll find your heart is empty and he's gone And when you become a woman of a certain age You'll find it's difficult to trust a man Difficult to gauge, when that bills rat who left you Without a living wage thinks there's still That tawdry glamour of the sea That, I swear to God's completely lost on me. So, if you ever hear me talking to a sailor Some mangy sea-dog skulking on the quay Ah, just remind me what I've said Or you can shoot me in the head And then throw my bleeding body in the sea! You'll find your bed is empty and he's--gone!

I tried to write a love letter to tell you how I feel But it could take forever And there's not enough time to kill If your love's an ocean, then you can let me drown When my heart feels like a desert You're the rain, so let it pour down I thought that I had, I had it all 'Til I found you Now I'd give it all up for you From the bottom of my heart To the top of my lungs You're the last thing I'll ever need The last thing I'll ever need 'Til death do us part, here's all of my love 'Cause you're the last thing I'll ever need The last thing I'll ever need You are the last thing You are the last thing I'll ever need If I could live a thousand lives with you It still wouldn't be enough 'Cause I could stay right here forever Just as long as I had your love So take my heart, take my soul Take anything you want at all Just promise that you'll never let Anything take you away from me I thought that I had, I had it all 'Til I found you Now I'd give it all up for you From the bottom of my heart To the top of my lungs You're the last thing I'll ever need The last thing I'll ever need 'Til death do us part, here's all of my love 'Cause you're the last thing I'll ever need The last thing I'll ever need I spent my whole life Collecting all these things But at the end of the ride There's only one thing I need And I'd give it all up I'd do it all over again As long as it's you in the end From the bottom of my heart To the top of my lungs You're the last thing I'll ever need The last thing I'll ever need 'Til death do us part, here's all of my love, hmm-mm 'Cause you're the last thing I'll ever need The last thing I'll ever need You are the last thing, hmm-mm You are the last The last thing I need

I'm so glad you came I'm so glad you remembered To see how we're ending Our last dance together Expectant, too punctual But prettier than ever I really believe that this time it's forever But older than me now And the fur and the mouth and the innocence turned To hair and contentment That hangs in a basement A woman now standing Where once there was only a girl I'm so glad you came I'm so glad you remembered The walking through walls In the heart of December The blindness of happiness Of falling down laughing And I really believed That this time was forever But Christmas falls late now Flatter and colder And never as bright As when we used to fall All this in an instant Before I can kiss you A woman now standing Where once there was only a girl I'm so glad you came I'm so glad you remembered To see how we're ending Our last dance together Reluctantly, cautiously But prettier than ever I really believe that this time it's forever But Christmas falls late now Flatter and colder And never as bright As when we used to fall And even if we drink I don't think we would kiss In the way that we did When the woman was only a girl
