lyrics

'Cause it's mating season
And the times are thieving
You chipped a tooth

Now he can't move without you
Songs to shed your skin to ring out
Over the lo-fi speaker system
In the kisses of wisdom
And the blissful decision

Come on Debbie break my heart in
I'm just a man child up against the wall

Your nose was bleeding and your highs were legal to reset the test
I took a compass to the lion and eagle of the school crest
You got excited by the best dressed people
(In bed with the rest)
I took a compass to the lion and eagle and cut right through the chest

I thought you'd be late
I brought a book for the wait
I was pleasantly surprised
Chewed the rim off of your coffee cup
And held my hand
Household brand
Held my hand

Come on Debbie break my heart in
I'm just a man child up against the wall
Come on tell me you've been sussing the baths
But you never could perfect your front crawl out it

It's either gone or slipping away I can't decide
Debbie's mum was sobering up at the time
And if you ever want your wicked way with me
I am an only child and I'm oh so lonely

Your nose was bleeding and your highs were legal to reset the test
I took a compass to the lion and eagle of the school crest
You got excited by the best dressed people
(In bed with the rest)
I took a compass to the lion and eagle and cut right through the chest
Your nose was oft against mine and even
When our chapped lips pressed
I carried you over the quicksand
(And we walked the rest)
I felt the fold of your navy v - neck pulled taught by your breasts
I took a compass to the lion and eagle of the school crest

Oh Debbie
