Arab Strap feat. Isobel Campbell Lyrics
"The Clearing"

Oh, she always used to be the same
She'd be loose with a straight dark facial frame
And now the things that used to turn me off, I find endearing
And they laugh behind the trees and she lays naked in the clearing

I adore, but I ignore her
See, I know it won't last as I reflect upon my past
But on severance she makes no difference
Theres things I wont let her know, as were perfecting our show
I wont ignore her - I think I'll phone her
I cant explore her if I ignore her

And now the things that used to turn me off I find endearing
And they laugh behind the trees as she lies naked in the clearing

But she wont beckon - is what I reckon
She might adore me, but she'll ignore me
Tell them to show there, and we get nowhere
She loves my snoring, so it never gets boring

She always used to be the same
She'd be loose with with a straight dark facial frame
And now the things that use to turn me off, I find endearing
And they laugh behind the trees and she lays naked in the clearing
