about

A Bookshop Day special, with as many book titles from the last 12 months as I could cram into the lyrics.

All sales will go to the GoFundMe for Hidden Corner, a bookshop in Bristol specialising in black, brown and queer authors, who were unlawfully evicted this week.

lyrics

I've been struggling to see
How To Make The World Add Up
This Entangled Life
Keeps tying me up

In A Net For Small Fishes
A Midnight Library
How Beautiful We Were
When it was just you and me

Earthlings wondering a Light Perpetual
Like Klara And The Sun
No One Is Talking About This
But what happens when we're done?

We've all got a Secret History
We've all Burnt Skin
But with you around
I'm more comfortable in
The Wild Silence
The Sorrow And Bliss
The Mercies you show me
Are how I learn to live

Is there an English Pastoral
Where we'll forever be?
Cause there's A Slow Fire Burning
Which I need for eternity

Sometimes it takes
A Swim In A Pond In The Rain
Or Crying In H Mart
To see again

The Small Pleasures all around me
The Love After Love
It's too easy to get lost
In The Vanishing Half
