Subset Of The World Lyrics

Malcolm Middleton Subset Of The World

I’m rocking
Rocking in my weeping chair
Weeping in my rocking chair
I’m going nowhere

I’m dying
Dying from all this air
Slowly being oxidised
Death by air

I’m talking
Talking shit again
Better out than in
I’m inside-in

I’m inside-in again
I’m outside-out of time

I’m singing
Singing on my own again
Singing about singing
About singing again

I’ve just caught myself
Caught myself catching myself
I’ve been spotted becoming aware
Of becoming aware

Last night I dreamt of you
You are everything that is not me
You were curled up as a girl
I’m a subset
A subset of the world
That was playing at being a girl
I understand the sky
It’s like looking at yourself
But using
Really really very very really
Very small eyes

You’re listening
Listening on your own again
Listening to me singing
About listening again

I’m singing
Singing on my own again
Singing about f..ck all
On my own again
