Thought when you turned up, you knew a way out of the woods
You'd follow the breadcrumbs that could lead us home
You will find out in time that everybody's a piece away from peace of mind
Neither of us is easy to live when the liquorice roof is caving in
You will find out from here how to tear this peace to pieces
You will find out

I found sharp sticks on snowball earth
Where they tried to fix the fences around the yard
Can you blame mother for trying so hard?
Haven't you grown? Haven't you shrunk?
Didn't I tell you once?
I found footprints on snowball earth
Where they take temperature at 5am
Your exes are massing on the bank again
Haven't you grown? Haven't you shrunk?
Didn't I tell you once
Hansel needs Gretel like poorhouse soup needs a stinging nettle?
Green fly, wolf man, she needs a woodcutter to hold her hand
Needle, sword verse, fangs, horns, which came first?
Snowball, flagless, I'd find it hard to need you less
Sharp sticks, balsa wood, I've eaten aphids and river mud
And no harm came to me
I was OK, I was OK
Haven't you grown? Haven't you shrunk?
Didn't I tell you once
Hansel needs Gretel like poorhouse soup needs a stinging nettle?
Haven't you grown? Haven't you shrunk?
Didn't I tell you once
Hansel needs Gretel like poorhouse soup needs a stinging nettle?

Ungrateful wretch, you little tramp
You caught me with my trousers down
The tarts were warm, the bread was broke
The August lips, the yellow yolk
It was good here but a rock face has grown up in your place
We're a long way from home
It's a sweet house but it's not our own
Try to sleep now, the trail has grown
As you dream, home has left home
There's no one at home whose name you know
There's no one home whose name you know
