lyrics

The Wash (Bottle/Darke)

It’s the start of the week
Though I wanted a lie in
Reality is so bleak
Will you Wash me? Will you Wash me?

All the clothes in my room
They are mangled and dirty
Always screaming of doom
Will you wash me? Will you wash me?

These days are merging
Life seems a dirge and still
We are hanging on every line
So I fell out of bed
And I put on a cycle
The spin is all in my head
Will you Soap me? Will you Soap me?

There’s a mess in the way
And we’re trying to focus
Do they hear what we say?
Will you Scrub me? Will you Scrub me?

In the broken machine
We’re getting into a lather
Can we ever be clean?
Will you Scrub me? will you Scrub me?

Just get on with the day
(Come in, the water’s lovely!)
Trust in all this palaver (trust)
And whatever they say
Will you Rinse me? Will you Rinse me?

Will you Rinse me?
Will you Dry me?

Will you Wash me? Will you Wash me?
Will you Scrub me? Will you Scrub me?
Will you Rinse me? Will you Rinse me?
Will you Dry me?
