Five Two Five

"In for the Kill" (La Roux cover) from William Robertson's third album "Echoings".

Lyrics:

We can fight our desires
Oooh but when we start making fires
We get ever so hot
Oooh whether we like it or not.
They say we can love who we trust
Oooh but what is love without lust?
Two hearts with accurate devotions
Oooh but what are feelings without emotions?

I'm going in for the kill,
I'm doing it for a thrill,
I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand.

I hang my hopes out on the line
Oooh they'd be ready for you in time.
If you leave them out too long
Oooh they'll be withered by the sun.
Full stops and exclamation marks
Oooh my words stumble before I start.
How far can you send emotions?
Oooh can this bridge cross the ocean?

I'm going in for the kill,
I'm doing it for a thrill,
I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand.
