Lyrics

Bilingual
I got myself a mortgage
It didn't save the marriage
We weren't insured
Insured against breakage
If you believe in orphans, there's still a chance for love
The hand that warms you also harms you
Pick me up in pieces, I'm scattered and broken
Slow, slow music
Pick me up in pieces, I'm scattered and broken
Slow, slow music
ย
By the time I was 16, I knew the names of the planets
Stayed away from the doorstep
Was frightened of milk-bottles
If you believe in orphans, there's still a chance for love
The hand that warms you also harms you
I know I'm not an orphan but I believe in love
The hand that holds you also scolds you
Pick me up in pieces, I'm scattered and broken
Slow, slow music
Pick me up in pieces, I'm scattered and broken
Slow, slow music
ย
Don't wake the children
Leave them in bed
In the land of the dreamless
They're better off dead
If you believe in orphans, there's still a chance for love
The hand that warms you also harms you
I know I'm not an orphan
But I believe in love
The hand that holds you also scolds you
Pick me up in pieces, I'm scattered and broken
Slow, slow music
Pick me up in pieces, I'm scattered and broken
Slow, slow music
Slow, slow music
Slow, slow music
Slow, slow music
