Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am on, switched on
A sudden clearness, a clarity
Hidden away, in every locked toilet
I've been waiting for you in the Joiners Arms
[Verse 2]
I know your name, I know your name
I've danced with you, we're all friends here
Silver slugs lined up like bullets
Rolled up twenties, they disappear
[Verse 3]
You make my tongue loose, you make my tongue loose
I am hopeful and stutter-free
You make my tongue loose, you make my tongue loose
I am hopeful
[Verse 4]
On Friday night, I do all the talking
A pint and a fight, the dance floor is mine
Truth serum and limbs that won't listen
Drunken "I love you's", on top of the world
[Verse 5]
And when it runs out, we're chasing something we'll never catch
And when it runs out, we buy more
A flatness so bleak I've been bitten by a vampire
A flatness bleaker than the one it replaced
[Verse 6]
You make my tongue loose, you make my tongue loose
I am hopeful and stutter-free
You make my tongue loose, you make my tongue loose
I am hopeful
[Verse 7]
I can charm, I can charm them all
I can charm them all
I can charm, I can charm them all
I can charm them all
[Verse 8]
You make my tongue loose, you make my tongue loose
You make my tongue loose, you make my tongue loose
I am hopeful and stutter-free
You make my tongue loose, you make my tongue loose
I am hopeful
[Verse 9]
I can charm, I can charm them all
I can charm them all
I can charm, I can charm them all
I can charm them all
