2016 - Nadine Shah

Since turning 30

I don’t know what’s happened to me

I am watching too much tv

All these real life murder mysteries

I read the contents on the back of food packaging

I am told it is good for me

Now my friends are all detoxing

But then

You’re on your own then

Oh when

You’re in your own head

Come over here, I’ll hold you tight

Come over here, I’ll hold you tight

Come over here, I’ll hold you tight

Come over here, I’ll hold you tight

Since turning 30

I have become so damn broody

I see what it has done to me

And all logic goes right through me

I feed on comments and the constant reassuring

In retrospect it’s all boring

Like my friends who are detoxing

And then

You’re on your own then

Oh when

You’re in your own head

Come over here, I’ll hold you tight

Come over here, I’ll hold you tight

Come over here, I’ll hold you tight

Come over here, I’ll hold you tight

Cruel 2016

Was the year that took our idols

What is there left to inspire us

With a fascist in the white house

Natural disasters

All this waste and waste and burning

See the temperature is rising

Unlike friends who are detoxing

And then

You’re on your own then

Oh, when

You’re in your own head

And then

You’re on your own then

Oh, when

You’re in your own head

Come over here, I’ll hold you tight

Come over here, I’ll hold you tight

Come over here, I’ll hold you tight

Come over here, I’ll hold you tight
