Alt-J - Pusher lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

If you're willin' to wait for the love of your life

Please wait by the line

And you know dispersive prisms rainbow

But my native optimism isn't broken by the light

The idea of life without company fell suddenly

It crashed through the ceilin' on me

& pinned me to the pine

And layer upon layer of hope and doubt

Will crush bones to oil in time

(Chorus)

Are u a pusher or are u a puller?

I pull the weight towards me

And I lack the zest of a lemon, lookin' forward

Unless I have a woman pushin' me

(Verse 2)

Canopy of red billed quelea, passed ova the blue

A 5 hour flock, not one dives down to tell u the truth

(La vérité, point de miséricorde, point de pitié)

As night falls, a quelea crawls & whispers on his last wings

(??? la violence)

So abundant are we, left alone I shall be but a waited phone never rings

(La violence entraine meurtre après meurtre, on ne peut, on ne peut)

(Chorus)

Are you a pusher or are you a puller?

I pull the weight towards me

And I lack the zest of a lemon, lookin' forward

Unless I have a woman pushin' me

Are you a pusher or are you a puller?

We could hold hands for fifteen minutes in the sauna

We could hold hands for a pool length under water

I can push and pull... her

(Outro)

If you're willin' to wait for the love of your life

Please wait by the line
