Song background and Tom's comments

This one is another personal favourite. If you want to get a taste for the album, this is the one I recommend you get. Its lyrics are based on a poem I wrote (and I know that sounds terribly pretentious, but in this case it's sadly true) that featured the lines 'And even the fluffiest of silver clouds are made of freezing wetness / and you tell me life's a bitch but I don't think you really get this'. And yeah, all those voices at the end are me.

Lyrics

Lyrics for Why I Shouldn't Have Let You In

You told me sieze the day
And then I really thought you cared
And I tried to face my fears
But then I just got really scared
And even the fluffiest of silver clouds
Are made of freezing wetness
And you tell me life's a bitch
But I don't think you really get this

And I wish that I'd not let you in any more
And I wish that I'd been a bit fussier about the kind of people I let through the door
If I'd hesitated, I might have been fated
To life my own life without you.

I never really meant to share achronologically
The little things that made me me
I never thought I'd have to
Quantify them day by day
I never really felt the need to take my two or three
Neuroses then talk openly
About them and then brutally
Dissect them on a tray,

And I'm glad that you're not telling me what to do
And I wish that I'd not spent the time illuminating up the past with little tales of who
Had nurtured me naturally from the womb
Through to now, my own life, without you.

You told me sieze the day
And then I really thought you cared
And I tried to face my fears
But then I just got really scared
And even the fluffiest of silver clouds
Are made of freezing wetness
And you tell me life's a bitch
But I don't think you really get this

And I wish that I'd not let you in any more
And I wish that I'd been a bit fussier about the kind of people I let through the door
If I'd hesitated, I might have been fated
To life my own life without you.
