WW1 Portraits - The Maccabees

Just so beautiful

Inside out more colourful

Fair hair tied back casual

A go-getter, go-getter

You’re the best of all

You’ve seen it four, five hundred times on repeat

You’re like a leftover better than a ribbon-tied treat

Narrow roads, never limit, never temper your speed

And when the river froze solid you’re still swimming upstream

You’d hold your own in the presence of pauper and a king

Leave a singing bird silent, make a hummingbird sing

You are a rope-a-doper coming back queen

They all want you so bad, of course they do

Just so beautiful

You break your back for the mission because you know where you stand

You live your life to a letter writ on the back of your hand

The way you move, you float, never know where you land

Give a five star rating if you know that you can

You are a rose-tinted underground fail

You are a red arrow fighter jet trail

You are the best of both, feel I know you so well

And I lay here beside you and I’m golden now
