Last Year - alt-J, GoldLink, Terrace Martin

January came and took my heart away

February felt the same

March, my hugs became hold ons

April, I huffed like porridge on the boil

Morning May, I’m downwind from your shampoo

Ichi, ni, san, go, roku, nana, hachi, kyuu, jyuu

June, I learned to count to ten in Japanese

Dry July, like wiping skin from my skull

Instead, I visit family

They told me I’m special

Hmm

Augustus came and stabilised me with my father’s pain

Relieving drug, diazepam

Life floats away

October, I swam back for my birthday

Firework display in a cafeteria of my old school

Happier my coal-black sleep in my cold, deep bed

December, you sang at my funeral

If it’s depths to your rivers, I’ve picked one for you

Oh, greedy with Ss but equalled by Is

If it’s stones for your pockets, I’ve collected a few

To hold you down

To hold you down

Mississippi, come back to me

Oh, Mississippi, your coal-black sleep

Oh, Mississippi

Mississippi, come back to me

Oh, Mississippi from your cold black sleep

Oh, Mississippi
