Danny Horn & the Shared Myths - At Least At Last

Jimmy by the river with a bottle intends
To spend an hour by the tower, by pull of the Thames
Societies anxieties is getting him down
So he ignores it, stores it, in the bottle he drowns

Self destruction is distraction from the terrible truth
That life is beautiful but you're too full of stale vermouth
The distance to resistance it is working your heart
And you've been racing, steady chasing but you're still the start

At least at last you're here
You are simply beautiful, divine
The years crumble into years
I was almost finally feeling fine

A little sweat had gathered by the nape of her neck
Her phone was vibrating so I thought that I'd check
An image of her lover with a flash and a beep
And so I threw it out the window and I went back to sleep (uh oh)

A little later on a rooftop with a view of the town
'New York I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down'
Then the situation it was too much to bare
I crumpled up and cried on the foot of the stair

At last you're here
You are simply beautiful, divine
The years crumble into years
I was almost finally feeling fine

The city air is thickening and choking my throat
The business end is full of rolled up twenty pound notes
The northern line is screaming, and I'm scared of the gap
I've no idea where I'm going, fuck, I'm lost in the map, oh no!

So it's time to double duck the trouble heading my way
I've been out sowing and it's showing so I doubt that I'll stay
The green of my memory is there in my mind
I'll rack it up, I pack it up and then I'll leave it behind
I'll rack it up, I pack it up and then I'll leave it behind
I'll rack it up, I pack it up and then I'll leave it

At least at last you're here
You are simply beautiful, divine
The years crumble into years
I was almost finally feeling fine

We rack it up, we pack up and then we leave it behind
We rack it up, we pack up and then we leave it behind
We rack it up, we pack up and then we leave it behind
