[Verse 1: Gus Unger-Hamilton]
Sleeplessly embracing
Butterflies and needles
Line my seamed-up join
Encased in case I need it
In my stomach, for my heart
Chain mail

[Refrain: Gus Unger-Hamilton]
Hunger of the pine
Hunger of the pine

[Verse 2: Gus Unger-Hamilton]
Sleeplessly embracing
Yawn yearns into me
Plenty more tears in the sea
And so you finally use it
Bedding with me you see at night
Your heart wears knight armour

[Refrain: Gus Unger-Hamilton]
Hunger of the pine

[Chorus: Gus Unger-Hamilton & Miley Cyrus]
(I'm a female rebel
I'm a female rebel
I'm a female rebel
I'm a female rebel
Female rebel)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Sleeplessly embracing you

[Verse 3: Gus Unger-Hamilton]
Realisation grew on me
As quickly as it takes your hand
To warm the cool side of the pillow
I’m there for you, be there for me
I’ll hum the song the soldiers sing
As they march outside our window

[Refrain: Gus Unger-Hamilton]
Hunger of the pine

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Gus Unger-Hamilton & Miley Cyrus]
Sleeplessly embracing you
Sleeplessly embracing you
(I'm a female rebel)
Sleeplessly embracing you
(I'm a female rebel)
Sleeplessly embracing you
(I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a female rebel)

[Chorus] + [Outro] (simultaneously)
Une immense espérance a traversé la terre
Une immense espérance a traversé ma peur

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Formed at Leeds University and signed to a label in Cambridge, UK, the band originally made songs on Garageband before releasing them under the pseudonym ∆.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