Alexandra Lyrics

I've been let down, I've been hurt
By bands that sounded like the future but then weren't
'cause now the future's here and there's no sound
'cause now the future's here and there's no turning around

So I'm walking out to meet you in the middle of the night
And I stopped to tie the laces of my left shoe good and tight
On a bridge that swings around whenever a boat needs to pass
On a bridge that swings around you feel no need to ask

Alexandra, it's alright
Since the last time that I saw you I've been terrified On referendum night
We slept holding hands for a minute
Me at the foot of your bed and you in it
This decision that I have made is a relief to you I'm sure
I see no value in singing my feelings anymore
On a bridge that swings around, I concede that all I see
Are a handful of young anglophiles who won't love me for me

Alexandra, it's alright
We can quietly give up on anything we've ever tried
On referendum night
We slept holding hands for a minute
Me at the foot of your bed and you in it
Me at the foot of your bed and you in it
