As You Like It - Siobhan Donaghy

In the descent of man

Heading for extinction

Catch this if you can

I make this prediction

You’re my XY chromosome

And the love between us Is fully blown

That’s why here at home

I’m your one and only

XX alone

Gone for all humanity

A Shakespearean tragedy

We’re all XY, XX chromosome

And the love between us Is very nearly blown

And that’s why we are all at home

Feeling lonely

XY, XX alone

(XX alone)

God will all humanity

Fail to find a remedy

We haven’t found a place

Where we can all human kind

We’re all XY, XX chromosome

And the love between us Should be fully grown (fully grown)

And that’s why we should be all at home

And never lonely (never lonely)

XY, XX all one

I’m dreaming the meaning of words

And, what do they all mean?

It’s all so absurd

We focus (yeah) on all the worst things

And we’re all full of fear

For what the life brings

You’re my XY (you're my XY) chromosome

And the love between us (between us)

Is fully blown (fully blown)

That’s why (why) here at home

I’m your one and only

XX alone (XX alone)

We’re all XY, XX chromosome

And the love between us (between us)

Should be fully grown (fully grown)

And that’s why (why) we should be all at home

And never lonely (never lonely)

XY, XX all one

XX alone (repeated to fade)
