dizraeli - abigail lyrics

[verse 1]
somebody, quick, tell her story
she’s forgotten she was ever born
dress her in metaphors
come describe the smell of gorse for her
so she can live it like i lived it
the cornish cliffs
both our parents there, bourbon biscuits
and a flask of tea
the sea is so cold, your feet have froze
use a sock to scrub the sand from out between your toes
you feel that? it’s good innit
even though it grates a little, it is raw existence
give it time and revel in it
dinner’s set for five tonight up at the house
we’ll leave the window wide for you
come sit inside, your father’s proud
i know you’ve never tasted mum’s food, it’s wicked
every day’s a different dish
and love’s forever served with it
call her “whippet”
it’s her nickname + she likes it
try it, say it
though your voice is paper thin and quiet
we can work it louder, it’s our duty to
we’ll make a body for you out of string and superglue
we’ll give you clothes and take your photo
place it there among our own in frames
and every phrase we say, we’ll say… eh
we’ll give you clothes and take your photo
place it there among our own in frames
and every phrase we say, we’ll say your name
[refrain]
abigail
you’re never going back there
you’re never going back
this i promise, i promise
abigail
you’re never going back there
you’re never going back
this i promise
abigail

[verse 2]
and if you’re laying in the void there, i’ll hold you
you’re too young to know a cold truth ++ come
let’s find a firefly
dance it down the hedgerows
i’ll pick out the soundtrack
abby, have my headphones, here
put ’em in, press the b+tton
hear music in the centre of your head
all a sudden surging
don’t be fearful
that’s a small miracle
the world’s chock+full of bigger ones
bigger wonders jostle for your eyes and ears
pick a bunch
see how we humans alchemise whatever’s given us
and turn ideas to solid fact, how boss is that?
with a bit of love
the plane’s in the air
train’s on the track
i wonder what you would have been
if you could have been a grown up
pretty sure you’d have had the living thing sewn up and sorted
come let’s lay around, watch the planets roll through
and if you’re crying in the void there
i’ll hold you
[refrain]
abigail
you’re never going back there
you’re never going back
this i promise, i promise
abigail
you’re never going back there
you’re never going back
this i promise
abigail
you’re never going back there
you’re never going back
this i promise, i promise
abigail
you’re never going back there
you’re never going back
this i promise
