bits of last night's make-up
printed on your arm
self-fulfilling breakup
or just a false alarm?
answers on a postcard
and though i saw it coming
i still did nothing
hand me the cards
lay them out in a straight line
so i'll play it safe
and you be my emasculine
hand me the cards
lay them out in a straight line
and ask for your blessing
if you be my emasculine
have i met you yeah and have you met me
have i met you yeah and have you met me
have you met you yeah and have i met me
have you met you yeah and have i met me
sycophantic sweetheart
lying on your breast
i pretend i'm sleeping
you smoke a cigarette
and all that fuss for nothing
apart from loss of innocence
and mild self-loathing
hand me the cards
lay them out in a straight line
so i'll play it safe
and you be my emasculine
hand me the cards
lay them out in a straight line
and ask for your blessing
my effortless emasculine
i haven't met you and you haven't met me
i haven't met you and you haven't met me
you haven't met you and i haven't met me
you haven't met you and i haven't met me

if someone asks me for my favourite or any 80s disco track I still replay in my head again and again, I'll have to clarify why I'd make an exception for Spectrum. absolute bomb with such honest and raw emotion, it just makes me bawl. <3 neuroticcanary
