"The Whale" lyrics
(performed by Olly Alexander)
(from "The Dish And The Spoon" soundtrack)
If you want, I will love you
I'll open my cupboard and show you my jumpers and posters and you'll say
Don't be afraid, I've been here before
I'm made of Ivory, I'm a cannibal
What have you done? You're not a weapon, are you?
What have you done? You're not a weapon, are you?
I last forever and I have plenty time
Make marks, I do not panic
Don't be afraid, I've been here before
I'm made of Ivory, I eat cannibals
I'll tie you up, I'll sail on by, I will
Oh, I'll tie you up, I'll sail on by, I will
Oh, the whale is not my friend tonight
I've never been alone
Oh, the whale is not my friend tonight
It's just a bag of bones
Oh, the whale is not my friend tonight
I'll open my cupboard and show you my jumpers and posters and you'll say
Don't be afraid, I've been here before
I'm made of Ivory, I'm a cannibal
What have you done? You're not a weapon, are you?
What have you done? You're not a weapon, are you?
I last forever and I have plenty time
Make marks, I do not panic
Don't be afraid, I've been here before
I'm made of Ivory, I eat cannibals
I'll tie you up, I'll sail on by, I will
Oh, I'll tie you up, I'll sail on by, I will
Oh, the whale is not my friend tonight
I've never been alone
Oh, the whale is not my friend tonight
It's just a bag of bones
Oh, the whale is not my friend tonight
