From the recording Miracles For Beginners
Lyrics
I’m a badly drawn cartoon in the wind up to waking up
My hair’s gone ka-boom, fell out with my face and they ain’t making up
I’ve got to drive a million miles, but my misery stays a secret
Because I’m going to roll over and kiss you while you’re still warm from sleeping
Your love has saved me from myself
Down the stairs and out of the door and I jump into the car
But my brain begins its boiling before I get very far
It’s funny how time stands still when you’re driving under bridges in the rain
I was thinking about bailing out, but a smile flickers into flame – your love
Your love has saved me from myself
Finally I get into town and all the lights are green
But no one at the junction’s moving – they can hear the siren’s scream
And you can feel the tribe working together because some poor soul’s in trouble
And my thoughts read, ‘I love you’ in a little white bubble
Your love has saved me from myself
