(Please don't go, please don't go)

She may contain the urge to run away
But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks
Cetirizene, your fever’s gripped me again
Never kisses all you ever send are fullstops

Do you know where the wild things go
They go along to take your honey
Break down now weep build up breakfast now
Let’s eat my love, my love, love, love

Please don’t go, please don’t go
Please don’t go, please don’t go
Please don’t go, please don’t go
I love you so, I love you so

Do you know where the wild things go
They go along to take your honey
Break down, now sleep build up breakfast now
Let’s eat my love, my love, love, love

She bruises, coughs, she splutters pistol shots
Hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks
She’s morphine, queen of my vaccine
My love, my love, love, love

Please don’t go, please don’t go
I love you so, I love you so
Please break my heart
Please don’t go, I’ll eat you whole
I love you so, I love you so, I love you so

Please don’t go, I’ll eat you whole
I love you so
Please don’t go, I’ll eat you whole
I love you so

Please don’t go, please don’t go
Please don’t go, please don’t go
Please don’t go, please don’t go
I love you so, I love you so

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Formed at Leeds University and signed to a label in Cambridge, UK, the band originally made songs on Garageband before releasing them under the pseudonym ∆.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