Helena (live for BBC radio 1's "The Lock Up", 2005)

Long ago, just like the hearse you die to get in again

And we are so far from you

And burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate

The lives of everyone you know

And what's the worst you take (worst you take)

From every heart you break? (Heart you break)

And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)

Well, I've been holding on tonight

What's the worst that I can say?

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight

Came a time when every starfall brought you to tears again

We are the very hurt you sold

And what's the worst you take (worst you take)

From every heart you break? (Heart you break)

And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)

Well, I've been holding on tonight

What's the worst that I can say?

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight

And if you carry on this way

Hope things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight

Can you hear me?

Are you near me?

Can we pretend to leave, and then

We'll meet again when both our cars collide?

What's the worst that I can say?

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight

And if you carry on this way

Hope things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight
