lyrics

(the photographs)

Mum says he would think that I was mad for doing it
Money, leave, a route that half exists, on foot
And she is right and she is also missing the whole thing
Because he would have said that and then asked for every picture

He would have wanted the photographs (photographs)
Every one, photographs
All of them, photographs
Photographs

The photographs, photographs, the photographs, photographs
He planned it for thirty years and priced it four times over
The photographs, photographs, the photographs, photographs
And what he actually wanted was for somebody to go

(exposed)
That is the difference between us and it is not courage.
He was born before cheap flights and I was born after.
Same wanting. Same hands. One of us got a shoebox and one got a route.
(BUILD 16 BARS, HARDEST DROP)

The photographs, photographs, the photographs, photographs
He planned it for thirty years and priced it four times over
The photographs, photographs, the photographs, photographs
And what he actually wanted was for somebody to go

(somebody to go...)
