Lyrics This Rope's Getting Tighter - Emma Pollock
I
drive
through
streets
I
could
walk
for
weeks
Full
of
life
Or
full
of
loneliness
Whose
eyes
Will
I
watch
from
today?
The
day
I
signed
My
horror
signed
My
glass
Was
overflowing
Celebrate
This
rope's
Getting
tighter
And
someone
Is
pulling
me
Back
to
the
start
Oh
I
need
something
That
I
know
now,
oh
Just
too
far
away
From
home
now,
oh
Just
a
sight
or
sound
To
trust
now
Oh
Keep
it
simple
Keep
me
static
Just
enough
To
lose
the
panic
Let
me
see
The
light
again
I
have
to
know
Where
it
goes
Needing
From
the
inside
out
This
gut
rot
I
could
do
without
So
sinister
A
pastime
I
have
to
know
I
have
to
go
So
cut
the
cord
Throw
overboard
This
history
That
claims
of
me
My
present
And
my
future
Both
clear
to
see
Both
bound
to
be
A
replica
This
life
so
far
I
think
it's
time
I
raised
the
bar
But
this
rope's
Getting
tighter
And
someone
Is
pulling
me
Back
to
the
start,
oh
I
need
something
That
I
know
now,
oh
Just
too
far
away
From
home
now,
oh
Just
a
sight
or
sound
To
trust
now,
oh
Keep
it
simple
Keep
me
static
Just
enough
To
lose
the
panic
Let
me
see
The
light
again
I
have
to
know
I
have
to
go
Needing
From
the
inside
out
This
gut
rot
I
could
do
without
So
sinister
A
pastime
I
have
to
know
I
have
to
go
