Magnolia Melancholia - Jamie T

Nice to meet you, boy, I know your mama knows

I fell in love with her seven-thousand summers ago

I was a runner kid, a too-much, too-heartily kid

Your mama helped me out

And now I’m here to pay the due back, Joe

Nice to meet you, boy, I knew your mama’s song

I knew how she would move along to every rhythm

I know she’ll best for you, she wants to get the rest of you

They’re here to take care of you

Whatever you need to come home through

Sad, juiced up, loose cannon fodder

We used to be happily savagery

Fell rapidly into love telepathy

I must admit, before I slipped, your mother knew the best of me

Mad, clued up, we were not lovers

Band of brother, sister, Easy Company

Didn’t tell me she was sick until she wrote to me

Then out of the blue, the years we knew

They all come flooding back to me

Magnolia melancholic love

Magnolia melancholia

Magnolia melancholic love

Magnolia melancholia

Like how she smiled and how I cried and how I finally fell

Like how I lied and how we died inside the Chelsea hotel

Like when she told me I had never had a broken heart

Well, I was mad, I said a couple of things I shouldn’t have

We didn’t talk for years, it’s clear to me I was ostracised

She threw me out her heart, her head

Her soul, her whole damn life

Sitting on the other side of London, penance for shit

I guess this all just hurt too much for her to deal with it

Nice to meet you, boy, I know your mama knows

I fell in love with her seven-thousand summers ago

I was a runner kid, a too-much, too-heartily kid

Your mama helped me out

And now I’m here to pay the due back, Joe

Nice to meet you, boy, I knew your mama’s song

I knew how she would move along to every rhythm

I know she’ll best for you, she wants to get the rest of you

They’re here to take care of you

Whatever you need to come home through

This is just a story I tell

She’s alive and well

Somewhere in the city swell

I guess I just miss my friend

As for the broken heart

It breaks every time I start

I guess I just miss my friend

As for the broken heart

It breaks every time I start

I guess I just miss my friend

As for the broken heart

It breaks every time I start
