alt-j – last year lyrics
[verse 1: joe newman]
january came and took my heart away
february felt the same
march, my hugs became hold ons
april, i huffed like porridge on the boil
morning may, i’m downwind from your shampoo
ichi, ni, san, go, roku, nana, hachi, kyuu, jyuu
june, i learned to count to ten in j-panese
dry july, like wiping skin from my skull
instead, i visit family
they told me i’m special
hmm
augustus came and stabilised me with my father’s pain
relieving drug, diazepam
life floats away
october, i swam back for my birthday
firework display in a cafeteria of my old school
happier my coal-black sleep in my cold, deep bed
december, you sang at my funeral
[verse 2: marika hackman]
if it’s depths to your rivers, i’ve picked one for you
oh, greedy with ss but equalled by is
if it’s stones for your pockets, i’ve collected a few
to hold you down
to hold you down
[refrain: marika hackman]
mississippi, come back to me
oh, mississippi, your coal-black sleep
oh, mississippi
[b-ssoon solo]
[refrain: joe newman and marika hackman]
mississippi, come back to me
oh, mississippi from your cold black sleep
oh, mississippi
