Shapes & Shadows
Ben Ottewell

What's view like from back there?

Kiss a girl with the strawberry hair

Touch the ghost with torching pocket

Here the sun comes, we forgot it


What's the town like where you grew up?

Did you drink from a golden cup?

Archimedes on your shoulder

Every day a little bolder


Smooth those lines away

Smooth those lines away


What's the model like inside your brain?

Does she make you wide awake?

Do you love her and protect her?

Sit together on a golden vector?


Will you be good when you grow up?

Serve your drinks from a golden cup?

Socrates in an old Ford Ascot

Sew the lines the nations discard


Smooth those lines away

Smooth those lines away


She's so fine

With eyes that follow you everywhere


She's so fine

Shapes and shadows and she is mine


Raise your arms and read my commandment

Hold my hand, get out the line and

You're my belle down to the final

They mean well, wait for the lines and


Raise your arms and read my commandment

Hold my hand and get out the line and

You're my belle down to the final

They mean well, wait for the lines


Raise your arms and read my commandment

Hold my hand, get out the line and

You're my belle down to the final

They mean well, wait for the light


Raise your arms and read my commandment

Hold my hand and get out the line [Incomprehensible]

Get out the line [Incomprehensible]


She's so fine

Shapes and shadows and she is mine
