Nursey Rhyme
Badly Drawn Boy · Other Songs - Badly Drawn Boy
Each time I turn inside
When I fall in love
Outside you
But I won't let you fall in love
Your love pours over me
Your men drown inside
Sing a nursery rhyme
To keep me quiet
Sing a nursery rhyme
To keep me quiet
Oh won't you please stay close to me, close to me
Carry through your ecstasy
Catch the memory then
Even when your on fire
Know that your weaving
My emotional wires
Falls through me
In through me
Out through me
Don't love me
Filling me, feeding me
Electrically
Yes I'll let you fall in love
Yes I'll let you fall in love
Yes I'll let you fall in love
Yes I'll let you fall in love
Yes I'll let you fall in love
Yes I'll let you fall in love
Yes I'll let you fall in love
Doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo
Have to breath the air you breathe
I'm inside you
In a room inside a room
Inside you
Colour changes fall through your emotion
I can see when the feelings desire
I feel I'm close to you
When I just walk around inside you
Don't let them close to me
Not when you if it is not
The one
The one
The one
The one
The one
The one
The one that you love
Yes I'll let you fall in love
Yes I'll let you fall in love
Yes I'll let you fall in love
Yes I'll let you fall in love
Yes I'll let you fall in love
Yes I'll let you fall in love
Yes I'll let you fall in love
Keep quiet!
Won't you sing me a nursery rhyme
To keep me quiet when your on fire
Won't you sing me a nursery rhyme
To keep me quiet when your on fire
Won't you sing me a nursery rhyme
To keep me quiet when your on fire
Please just sing me a nursery rhyme
To keep me quiet while I'm inside
Please just sing me a nursery rhyme
To keep me quiet while I'm inside
I won't let you fall in love
You know inside your baby knows
Your baby knows
Your baby knows
Your baby knows
Your baby knows
I'm on fire, your on fire
Keep me quiet, feel the air your breathing
