Alt-J - This Is All Yours Lyrics






Intro

Shit them all festival, laugh at the beautiful
It's just a nod to the canon
Simple man Stan can't stand up on the beautiful
It's just a nod to the canon

Stickle brick, tickle quick, laugh at the beautiful
It's just a nod to the canon
Hustle over hot muscle shower, twitch off the beautiful
It's just a nod to the canon now
One, two, three (yeah)

Arrival In Nara

As she submarines
The rope loops round her feeble feet
Before the dawn
Breaks on her sorry grasp

In a blink and in one motion
Rope constricts
Rips her towards the ocean

She never finds her bearings
Sucking splash into her lungs

Though I cannot see
I can hear her smile as she sings

And though I cannot see
I can hear her smile as she sings

Nara

Soon
I'm gonna marry a man like no other
Light the fuse, hallelujah, hallelujah

Love, love is the warmest colour
Petrol blues, hallelujah, hallelujah
Comes, saut dans le vide, my lover
In my youth the greatest tide washed up my prize

You.

Follow, let him go, let him lead me be
Love is a pharaoh, and in front of me
I thought let him be where he want to be
Love is a pharaoh and he's boning me

I've discovered a man like no other man
I've discovered a man like no other man
I've discovered a man like no other man
I've found a love to love like no other can

I've found a love to love like no other can

He's found me, my Aslan

Hallelujah, Bovay, Alabama
Marry a man like no other

Hallelujah, Bovay, Alabama
Love is the warmest colour

Hallelujah, Bovay, Alabama
Unpin your butterflies, Russia

Hallelujah, Bovay, Alabama
To be a deer in Nara

Hallelujah, Bovay, Alabama

Every Other Freckle

Aah
I want to share your mouthful
I want to do all the things your lungs do so well
I'm gonna bed into you like a cat prance into a beanbag
Turn you inside out and lick you like a crisp packet

(Hey,hey,hey,hey,hey, hey)

You're the first and last of your kind
Hold me like an animal utaffable
I wanna be every lever you've pulled
And all showers that shower you
Not a pop or a tune
Like a cat falls and I wanna dump her
Me, I'm in the bin
Ignore her worth, and some trivia

Hey

Ooh, devour me
Ooh, Lou Lou, let the cover girls sing
Hey (doo doo doo doo doo doo)

All hand claps
Human claps
(Let me be the wallpaper that papers up your room)
I want to be every button you press
And all mouths that surround you
Yes, I'm gonna roll around you
Like a cat rolls around the chrysanthemums
I'm gonna kiss you like the sun grounds you

Hey

Oh oh oh oh oh devour me (hey)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh devour me (hey)
Oh oh oh oh oh (oh oh oh oh oh)
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh (oh oh oh oh oh)
If you really think that you can stomach me (hey, hey)

Hey
Hey

I want every other freckle
I want every other freckle
I want every other freckle
I want every other freckle
I want every other freckle
I want every other freckle
I want every other freckle
I want every other freckle, freckle

Left Hand Free

Ain't shady, baby, I'm hot like the prodigal son
Pick a petal, eenie meenie miney moe
And, flower, you're the chosen one

Well, your left hand's free
And your right's in a grip
With another left hand
Watch his right hand slip
Towards his gun, oh, no (oh)

I tackle, we tussle and, oh my days, we're rolling
My right hand's gripped on his Colt single-action army, oh no

Well, your left hand's free
And your right's in a grip
With another left hand
Watch his right hand slip
Towards his gun, oh, no (oh)

N-E-O, O-M-G, gee whiz
Girl, you're the one for me
Though your man's bigger than I am
Oh my days, he disagrees, oh, no (oh, speak easy)

Well, my left hand's free (oh)
Well, my left hand's free (oh)
Well, my left hand's free (oh), oh no

Ain't shady, baby, I'm hot like the prodigal son
Pick a petal, eenie meenie miney moe
And, flower, you're the chosen one

Well, your left hand's free (oh)
Well, my left hand's free (oh)
Well, my left hand's free (oh)
Well, my left hand's free (oh)
Well, my left hand's free (oh) oh, no

Choice Kingdom

Your choice kingdom
Their voice hear them
Our choice kingdom

Your choice kingdom
Our voice crowns men
Our choice kingdom

Rule Britannia
Bright ideas hide in caves
Rule Britannia
Break a stock into a slave
Rule Britannia
Leave us planked before the graves
Rule Britannia
Ruler of the waves

Hunger Of The Pine

Sleeplessly embracing
Butterflies and needles
Line my seamed-up join
Encased in case I need it
In my stomach, for my heart
Chain mail

Hunger of the pine
Hunger of the pine

Sleeplessly embracing
Yawn yearns into me
Plenty more tears in the sea
And so you finally use it
Bedding with me you see at night
Your heart wears knight armour

Hunger of the pine
(I'm a female rebel)
(I'm a female rebel)
(I'm a female rebel)
Sleeplessly
Embracing
You

Realization grew on me
As quickly as it takes your hand
To warm the cool side of the pillow
I'm there for you, be there for me
I'll hum the song the soldiers sing
As they march outside our window
Hunger of the pine

Sleeplessly
Embracing
Sleeplessly
Embracing
You

(I'm a female rebel)
Sleeplessly
Embracing
(I'm a female rebel)
Sleeplessly
Embracing
You

Warm Foothills

Dry dunes cater for jumping boys
From the nape of her neck he made his descent
They watched men hurl from rock to sea
Like sternum to button, lined lip pinches in between

Your foothills
Your warm

Iris swims quietly beside me
Oh the leaves and larger weeds sway and stretch themselves beneath
Blue dragonflies dart to and fro
I tie my life to your balloon and let it go

Your foothills
Your warm

Chest bursts like John Hurt
Coming out of the woods

Oh, coming out of the woodwork
Chest bursts like John Hurt

Looking down

Do you know where you go
You're headed on the strings
For the

Looking down but you know where you're looking

You're headed on the strings

Bloodflood pt. II

Heat shimmer
Hips quiver
Open smother
Lipped lover

Dead in the middle of the C-O-double-M-O-N
Little did I know then that the Mandela Boys
Soon become Mandela Men
Razor blades on a melted toothbrush
Slash, slash / Assassin de la police

Heat shimmer
Silky glistener
Open smother
Lipped lover

Dead in the middle of the C-O-double-M-O-N
Little did I know then that the Mandela Boys
Soon become Mandela Men
Silent knife, unholy knife
I've fallen for the black outside my window

On the C-O-double-M-O-N
On the C-O-double-M-O-N

A flood of blood to the heart
A flood of blood to the heart
A flood of blood to the heart
A flood of blood to the heart

A flood of blood to the heart (Quelea, quelea)

Pusher

If you're willing to wait for the love of your life
Please wait by the line
And you know dispersive prisms rainbow
But my native optimism isn't broken by the light

The idea of life without company fell suddenly
It crashed through the ceiling on me
And pinned me to the pine
And layer upon layer of hope and doubt
Will crush bones to oil in time

Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
I pull the weight towards me
And I lack the zest of a lemon, looking forward
Unless I have a woman pushing me

A canopy of red-billed quelea
Passed over the blue
A five hour flock, not one dives down
To tell you the truth

As night falls, a quelea crawls
And whispers on his last wings
So abundant are we, left alone I shall be
But a waited phone never rings

Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
I pull the weight towards me
And I lack the zest of a lemon, looking forward
Unless I have a woman pushing me

Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
We could hold hands for fifteen minutes in the sauna
We could hold hands for a pool length under water
I can push and pull
Her

If you're willing to wait for the love of your life
Please wait by the line

Lovely Day

On the night line

When I wake up in the morning light
Sunlight hurts my eyes
Something without warning, love
Plays heavy on my mind
Then I look at you
Then I look at you
Then I look at you
Then I look at you

Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Oh just one look at you
Just one look at you
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be a lovely day
On the night line
For the night line

When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way

Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be a lovely day
On the night line
For the night line

On the night line
On the night line
