Lyrics for Slow Slow Music

I got myself a mortgage It didn't save the marriage We weren't insured Insured against breakage If you believe in orphans, there's still a chance for love The hand that warms you also harms you Pick me up in pieces, I'm scattered and broken Slow, slow music Pick me up in pieces, I'm scattered and broken Slow, slow music By the time I was 16, I knew the names of the planets Stayed away from the doorstep Was frightened of milk-bottles If you believe in orphans, there's still a chance for love The hand that warms you also harms you I know I'm not an orphan but I believe in love The hand that holds you also scolds you Pick me up in pieces, I'm scattered and broken Slow, slow music Pick me up in pieces, I'm scattered and broken Slow, slow music Don't wake the children Leave them in bed In the land of the dreamless They're better off dead If you believe in orphans, there's still a chance for love The hand that warms you also harms you I know I'm not an orphan But I believe in love The hand that holds you also scolds you Pick me up in pieces, I'm scattered and broken Slow, slow music Pick me up in pieces, I'm scattered and broken Slow, slow music Slow, slow music Slow, slow music Slow, slow music
