Kate Nash - The Skeleton Song lyrics

Skeleton you are my friend,

But you are made of bone

And you have got no flesh and blood running through

you to help you protect the bone

Skeleton we have been friends for years

And you have seen me through some trials and tribulations

And some tears

But everybody thinks I’m weird

And I should have known

That it wouldn’t be long

Until you

You’ve got me standing in an

Awkward position

With un-wanted attention

And a need for explanation

And it’s

Not that I’m letting go of you

But I dunno what to do

Skeleton we are so close

But you have got no body so why do you insist on wearing clothes?

Skeleton when we were young

It was easy

Even though the other kids

They would tease me

I was only seven I had you

but now I’m twenty-two

And now it’s different

When I take you out

And you

You’ve got me standing in an

Awkward position

With un-wanted attention

And a need for explanation

And it’s

Not that I’m letting go of you

But I dunno what to do

And sometimes,

At night,

I dream of the most terrible things,

I take a hammer and I climb out of bed

And I raise it high and I smash your head

Fibular and *tibular* and ribs and cages

To in fact

While I’m here

I’ll smash the whole of you

Skeleton you are my friend

And I could never bring your life to an end

Yeah skeleton you are, you are my friend

And I will be there for you until the end

And even though

When I take you out

You’ve got me

You’ve got me standing in an

Awkward position

With un-wanted attention

And a need for explanation

I could, I could never let you go

And that is all I know

And that is all I know

And that is all I, that is all I know

And that is all I know
