Ignorance.

Boo Hewerdine is bloody brilliant. I don’t want
him to be more popular. I want him all to myself.

Miles/Ignorance/Hewerdine:

Did you ever
see London at night

And not want to go home?

Did you ever take drugs, stay up late

Just to see what you would see?

Did you ever have love and hate

Scratched across your hand?

Or did you turn round

With 16 miles to go?

Did you ever just walk away

And disappear for days?

Did you ever have a girlfriend

Called Catherine Wheel?

Did you ever come home from work

Saying “I’m never going back again”?

Or did you turn round

With 16 miles to go?

Did you ever want to kiss me

So hard it bled?

Did you ever find yourself laughing

In the middle of the day?

Did you ever think about the first time

That I came in you?

Or did you turn round

With 16 miles to go?

Think about the world

Those who’d see us hang

Say it’s the only language

We understand, we understand

And all those lives

We’ll never know

If we turn round with

16 miles to go
