The Format - If Work Permits (demo) lyrics

So the wind that blows across your room Carried cheap perfume onto your dresser It rained for j**elry and for credit cards Two tickets to a film i dont remember One day youll kiss your rabbits nose, pick up the phone To find ive been turned over And youll grab that piece of gold Only to find that the smell has taken over Now all the things you had, they arent the same...

Let her sink Let her sink Let her
