lyrics

David brought an angel to the doorway of our flat
But I mistook her for a lover and said we ain’t got no room here for that
If I’d have looked him in the eye I would have understood the truth
Hell resides much deeper than the London Tube.

When I first met Lou Room I said well she’ll never hear this song
But now I’m not so sure of anything
but I could swear I hear her singing along
In the pouring rain and feigned disdain
just dripping from the tooth
Sometimes the sky drops a lullaby and here is your proof

And he said you’re my saviour
And she said you’re my favourite
Whisper caught up in the corners of every room
And he said I feel broken
And she said I’m just hoping
That the last 20 minutes doesn’t change what you came here to do

Is anybody falling for..., Is everybody falling for Lou Room
Is anybody falling for..., Is everybody falling for Lou Room
Is anybody falling for..., Is everybody falling for Lou Room
Is anybody falling for..., Is everybody falling for Lou

In a green room deep in Camden Town, on the cusp of a mercurial night
We were struck with fear the night before,
but somehow something this time just seemed right
When the doorway by the stairs pushed open,
he smiled, guess what I lost a bet.

Sometimes you settle for nothing, sometimes you settle for nothing
Sometimes you settle for nothing and end up with the best…
