lyrics

Everybody’s talking about going to the moon
and how we’re all gonna live on Mars soon
but I don’t really care.
I’m already there.

The fever kicks in faster than gin
cause I want you and you’re with him.
The fever kicks in faster than gin
cause I want you and you’re with him.

Everyone’s talking about climate change,
plastic bags and polar ice and growing eco-pains
but I can’t join in.
I’m just watching.

The fever kicks in faster than gin
cause I want you and you’re with him.
The fever kicks in faster than gin
cause I want you and you’re with him.

I’ve a secret and it’s one I’m meant to keep.
Every time you smile or laugh I want to weep.
For crying out loud, your romantic story’s fiction.
They say that love is blind - you need a strong prescription.

Everybody’s hot and drunk and far too loud.
I’m sat stone cold sober - out of the in-crowd
and nobody knows
cause I’m cool and composed

but then the fever kicks in faster than gin
cause I want you and you’re with him.
The fear kicks in, the future looks grim
cause I want you and you’re with him.

I’ve a secret and it’s going to be exposed.
Everyone’s talking bombs and I’m going to explode.
I can’t just sit here and let things be
cause it’s clear dear - you should be with me.

The fever kicks in faster than gin
cause I want you and you’re with him.
The feeling creeps in, a kiss and a grin,
I want you and you’re with him.
The fighting starts, a fist to a heart.
I want you.

Get Physical is my soundtrack to the summer! Slow Cooked and I Like You In Blue are corkers. The vibe is classic indie pop from yore, but with a real nugget of star quality. what's not to like? Gareth Williams
