johnathan rice - hollow jubilee lyrics

[verse 1]
how my fingers found you so quickly in the dark
hardly strictly business, speaking from the heart
on the bathroom sink, i lifted up your skirt
how was i to know just how badly i’d get hurt?
everyone was talking backwards, drowning on their feet
i noticed how the rose was clenched too tightly in your teeth
we were spoiling for a fight, the special way we’d flirt
i dragged you to the garden, we did it in the dirt

[chorus]
you pretend to be you, i’ll pretend to be me
and i’ll see you at the hollow jubilee

[verse 2]
in a post–rg-smic haze, sometimes some truth escapes
when the pressure is relieved, one can relive the better days
when we were as one, you thought i was too young
now sometimes you feel something else when the chill of evening comes

[chorus]
you pretend to be you, i’ll pretend to be me
hiding at the hollow jubilee

[verse 3]
our loves lies in repose and everybody knows
you weave the fabric of your life into your onstage clothes
i always pictured you and me growing old disgracefully
now i see the club’s sold out and there’s no room for me

[chorus]
there’s a blindfold for you and a mirror for me
hanging at the hollow jubilee
so, you pretend to be you, i’ll pretend to be me
when i see you at the hollow jubilee
