lyrics

(February)

I've left four things in February and I've never left in June
There's a fortnight in the middle of it where I get strange
Everybody round me learns to watch me from the room
And nobody has ever asked me why I always change

It isn't sadness, it's more like a draught
Something opens somewhere and I walk toward it

Every February, every February, same fortnight, same door
I break it while it's good so I don't watch it break itself
Every February, every February, and I've done it all before
And I keep the pattern on a shelf and take it off the shelf

The band I left is doing fine, they've got a second record out
And I don't regret a second, which is what the song's about

Every February, every February, same fortnight, same door
I break it while it's good so I don't watch it break itself
Every February, every February, and I've done it all before
And I keep the pattern on a shelf and take it off the shelf

(February)
