lyrics

Come be reclusive with me,
If you’ve no better places to be. Let’s face it;
The world wasn’t made for the ones like ourselves.
So come be reclusive with me.

Come let me into your little world.
I’m liking the sound of the bits about which I’ve been told,
And we could make it exclusive and fortified too,
If I could come be reclusive with you.

It’s took me the best part of a week just to shake off your spell,
‘Cause you cast it so wonderfully, you cast it so well.

Well I’ve been this mess of a man
But I’m not ashamed to admit what I am.
And so when you told me that sometimes your hands’d shake too,
I just wished I could come be reclusive with you.

And when you said how when you’re troubled your cheeks’d turn red
I was dying to hold you, to take you to bed with me.

Since that weekend I’m riven by these shivers, you see,
That’ll roll up and down just like rivers through me.
It’s like water that flows through these very veins, I suppose.

Come be reclusive with me.
Oh Christ is it obvious to see?
You’ve taken up most of my memories and all of my energies.
But there’s no other way that I’d have it to be.

And we could build us a tent in which to hide our troubled souls.
But I could use your help with the ropes and the poles.
