lyrics

Like the chain that's around my neck
Like the bag that's on my back
I've got the cuts but the straps are slack
So I want you to stay

How did I lose you?
There's so many ways
There's so many words
For feelings you can't say
How did I lose you?
Hiding in plain sight
You were gone before you left
Bereft, now all the time

Like the chain that's around my neck
Like the bag that's on my back
I've got the cuts but the straps are slack
So I want you
I want you to stay
I can't eat where you don't love
I can't sleep where you don't love
I'm sick of sickness
Forget forgiveness
So tell me why

I want you to stay
I want you to stay, hoo hoo
I want you to stay
I want you to stay, hoo hoo

Where have you gone to?
Have we grown apart?
These growing pains
Can't stop our shrinking heart
Where have you gone to?
I find I can't get through
I'd like to fight
You find cheap flight
One-way for a rendezvous

Like the chain that's around my neck
Like the bag that's on my back
I've got the cuts but the straps are slack
So I want you
I want you to stay
I can't eat where you don't love
I can't sleep where you don't love
I'm sick of sickness
Forget forgiveness
So tell me why

I want you to stay
I want you to stay, hoo hoo
I want you to stay
I want you to stay, hoo hoo
I want you to stay
I want you to stay, hoo hoo
I want you to stay
I want you to stay, hoo hoo

Like the chain that's around my neck
Like the bag that's on my back
I've got the cuts but the straps are slack
So I want you

Like the chain that's around my neck
Like the bag that's on my back
I've got the cuts but the straps are slack
So I want you
I want you to stay
Like the chain that's around my neck
Like the bag that's on my back
I've got the cuts but the straps are slack
So I want you

I want you to stay
I want you to stay, hoo hoo
I want you to stay
I want you to stay, hoo hoo
I want you to stay
I want you to stay, hoo hoo
I want you to stay
I want you to stay, hoo hoo

about

NEW POSITION Leeds, UK

Leeds-based nine-pack of funk/R&B slammers with a trio of lead singers. Bitter-sweet switter-beats alongside popcorn-funk that may well get stuck in your teeth. But it’s not bothersome - it tastes good.
