lyrics

(somebody to go)

Thirty years of costings and four separate revisions
Ferry times updated in a different pen in ninety-one
He was not planning a journey, he was keeping one alive
Waiting for a version of himself that never showed up

Somebody to go (to go)
That is all he wanted, to go
Not him necessarily, to go
To go

Somebody to go, to go, somebody to go, to go
He did not need to be the one, he needed it to happen
Somebody to go, to go, somebody to go, to go
And I have his hands and a route and three weeks in April

(exposed)
Mum found a second shoebox. In the loft. In July.
Same route, drawn out again, in a child's handwriting.
Mine. I did it when I was nine. I have no memory of it at all.
(BUILD 16 BARS, HARDEST DROP)

Somebody to go, to go, somebody to go, to go
He did not need to be the one, he needed it to happen
Somebody to go, to go, somebody to go, to go
And I have his hands and a route and three weeks in April

(a child's handwriting...)
