"Mike (desert island duvet)" lyrics
Fred again.., The Streets & Dermot Kennedy Lyrics
[Dermot Kennedy:]
All that I've got is you
All that I've got is you
All that I said is true
All that I've got is you
[Mike Skinner:]
Two people on a carpet with light around the curtains
Two people from a circus on a flying carpet
Give me a thousand and one nights to tell you this story
And then I'll help with the dishes
Like Solomon on green silk with the golden stitches
From old and weathered art
Only the silk is fast fashion and the stitches are barely holding together your heart
Let me re-up your dose of grape
Don't stain your spotless mood
Up close your face don't look the same as from across the room
Your eyebrows look tidier
Your hair the sort of mess that takes hours
Pleasant sky at night on the ceiling
Desert island duvet plot of bearing in the sea
Two Bedouin people just sharing out the tea
Two people on a carpet couldn't care for what's real
[Dermot Kennedy:]
All that I've got is you
All that I've got is you
Don't know what you do
Don't know what you do
Don't know what you do to me
Don't know what you do
Don't know what you do
Don't know what you do to me
[Mike Skinner:]
Two people on a carpet with light around the curtains
Two people from a circus on a flying carpet
You're wiser than your years but everything changes
And when it does wise people refuse to
You caught me at a good time 'cause I'm feeling bad
Tonight the wind is following your command
Is it the Arabian aromas or maybe it's the takeaway
Your eyes are off an advert
Take you back to my loneliest thoughts
Lately my back has got to know the wall
I am less describing what I'm saying innit
But you persuade me to define what I'm saying in it
I want life from the sky with none of the pain of living it
Not afraid of heights, but I'm afraid of widths
A riot in my thinking when your lips go to bite
It's quiet in the kitchen, but for the disco lights
Your thoughts go in and find my inner ear
The years of your life, giving life to my years
Two people on a carpet with light around the curtains
Two people from a circus on a flying carpet
You had your heart broken but you're making it stick
Taking apart everyone you've dated since
A riot in my thinking when your lips go to bite
It's quiet in the kitchen, but for the disco light
(Don't know what you do to me)
(Don't know what you do to me)
(Don't know what you do to me)
(Don't know what you do to me)
[Dermot Kennedy:]
All that I've got is you
All that I've got is you
All that I said is true
All that I've got is you
All that I've got is you
All that I've got is you
All that I said is true
All that I've got is you
[Mike Skinner:]
Two people on a carpet with light around the curtains
Two people from a circus on a flying carpet
Give me a thousand and one nights to tell you this story
And then I'll help with the dishes
Like Solomon on green silk with the golden stitches
From old and weathered art
Only the silk is fast fashion and the stitches are barely holding together your heart
Let me re-up your dose of grape
Don't stain your spotless mood
Up close your face don't look the same as from across the room
Your eyebrows look tidier
Your hair the sort of mess that takes hours
Pleasant sky at night on the ceiling
Desert island duvet plot of bearing in the sea
Two Bedouin people just sharing out the tea
Two people on a carpet couldn't care for what's real
[Dermot Kennedy:]
All that I've got is you
All that I've got is you
Don't know what you do
Don't know what you do
Don't know what you do to me
Don't know what you do
Don't know what you do
Don't know what you do to me
[Mike Skinner:]

(Don't know what you do to me)
[Dermot Kennedy:]
All that I've got is you
All that I've got is you
All that I said is true
All that I've got is you
