[Verse 1]
I want to share your mouthful
I want to do all the things your lungs do so well
I'm gonna bed into you like a cat beds into a bean bag
(Mm, mm, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm)
Turn you inside out and lick you like a crisp packet

[Break]
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
You're the first and last of your kind
(Pull me like an animal out of a hole)
I want to be every lever you pull
And all showers that shower you
Gonna paw, paw at you
Like a cat paws at my woollen jumper
(Mm, mm, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm)
Be your Minpin
And Borrower of handsome trivia (Hey!)

[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Devour me
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Lou, Lou, let the cover girls sing (Hey!)

[Break]
Do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do, do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do, do-do
Do-do-do, do-do

[Verse 3]
All hand claps, you will clap
(Let me be the wallpaper that papers up your room)
I want to be every button you press
And all the baths that surround you
Yes, I'm gonna roll around you
Like a cat rolls around saw dusted patios (Ooh)
I'm gonna kiss you
Like the sun browns you (Hey!)

[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Devour me (Hey!)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Hey! Hey!)
Devour me (Hey-hey!)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey-hey! Hey!)
If you really think that you can stomach me (Hey-hey!)

[Outro]
(Hey! Hey! Hey-hey!)
I want every other freckle (Hey!)
I want every other freckle
I want every other freckle
I want every other freckle (Hey-hey!)
I want every other freckle (Hey!)
I want every other freckle
I want every other freckle
I want every other freckle, freckle (Hey-hey!)

​​alt-J

alt-J is an English indie rock band that consists of vocalist and guitarist Joe Newman, keyboardist and bassist Gus Unger-Hamilton and drummer Thom Green. Gwil Sainsbury was the band’s bassist before leaving the band in early 2014.

Formed at Leeds University and signed to a label in Cambridge, UK, the band originally made songs on Garageband before releasing them under the pseudonym ∆.

∆’s name takes a little explaining. Pronounced alt-J, the delta sign is inserted when you press alt and J on a Mac keyboard.
