lyrics

No one’s that sad
I’m left for dead,
What a hell of a night
To let my guard down
Don’t send for help
Or pray God for health
I’m not a physical guy
But I let myself down

I wanted to be right with you
Songbirds on the scythe, in gloom
There’s no other
Queen of the Nile
This could be love

You search for self
He lives for the wealth
He’s a likeable guy
When he lets his hair down
Go out in style
We did good for a while
But invisible knives
Cut just as well

Nightfall when I fall
And tonight I won’t be going home
Save your sighs for disciples
Do you know what’s gonna happen now?

I wanted to be right with you
Songbirds on the scythe, in gloom
There’s no other
Queen of the Nile
This could be love

I’ll bide my time
’Til we collide
Through the face
I will be heard
I blame the world
Make me a bird
I cross my arms
I hope to fly

Nightfall when I call
And tonight you won’t be going home
Trade my eyes for an eyeful
And I know what’s gonna happen now

I wanted to be right with you
Songbirds on the scythe, in gloom
There’s no other
Queen of the Nile
Discover, there’s no other
I wanted to be right with you
Sunglasses and shine, in June
There’s no other
Queen of the Nile
This could be love

Junkheart London, UK

Junkheart is a band of one. Crafting the soundtrack to his own internal movie; dripping in nostalgia, small-town drama, doomed young-love and existential angst. He mixes modern production, retro-guitars, vintage synths, and rich layered vocals to create a dreamy portal into his world; blending elements of 80s alt-pop, dynamic beats and the sulkiest R&B. ... more
