Kate Nash: The Skeleton Song

Skeleton you are my friend, but you are made of bone
And you have got no flesh and blood running through you to help protect the bone
Skeleton we have been friends for years
And you have seen me through some trials and tribulations and some tears
But everybody thinks I'm weird


And I should have known
That it wouldn't be long
Uuntil you've got me standing in an awkward position
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation
And it's not that I'm letting go of you
But I don't know what to do

Skeleton we are so close
But you have got no body so why do you insist on wearing clothes?

Skeleton when we were young, it was easy
Even though the other kids, they would tease me
But I was only seven I had you, but now I'm 22

And now it's different, when I take you out
And you, you've got me standing in an awkward position
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation
And it's not that I'm letting go of you,
But I don't know what to do

Sometimes at night,
I dream of the most terrible things
I take a hammer and I creep out of bed
And I raise it high and I smash your head
Fibula and tibula
And ribs and cages too
In fact, while you're here
I'll smash the whole of you
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-a-a-a-a-a...

But Skeleton, you are my friend
And I could never bring your life to an end
Yes Skeleton you are, you are my friend
And I will be there for you until the end

And even though, when I take you out
You've got me standing in an awkward position
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation

I could never let you go
And that is all I know
And that is all I know
And that is all I, that is all I know
And that is all I know
