James: this is a song I recorded on my own, in one swell evening at the studio before moving to Wellington. If we all had taken part, it would undoubtedly be much better, but here it is as an expression of myself as part of Dilwin.

lyrics

He's like the enticement of an unlit cigarette
But draw that first breath, and it's an omen of death
They're hovering round him like flies to shit
He won't admit it's because he's full of it
She thinks he can protect her from all the scary things
Help learn to use her wings, and suck out the stings
But he's just searching for some asylum for his soul
And it won't quite go where it can't flow

And I can only hope
Hope that that you know

Impatient she rolls forward but the light's still red
He's already three stops ahead
A shimmering vision ever in the distance
Of course he only kissed them because of their persistence
i secretly suspect it's naivety
That's led her to believe he's the man of her dreams
Someday she'll see it's all for show
How he's so well-spoken, the perfect bloke

And I can only hope
Hope that you know
Hope that you know

And I can only hope
Hope that you know
Hope that you know
