"Secrets" lyrics - DAMON ALBARN
[Lois Chimimba]
I'm made of things that are secret
Things that I don't want to say
Is it someone I love or someone I hate?
Or a trust that I cannot betray?
I'v got secrets that loom in my head
When I sleep secrets I push away down somewhere deep
But once the mouth opens
The world start to calm
In a great rush of freedom
The river will run
I'll really keep all my secrets
You can tell me without any shame
[Carly Bawden]
It was my fault you know my dad had to go
Our family broke and I am to blame
One night after midnight I crept down the stairs
There on the sofa lay Dad and his beer
I found out that he had a secret
Each night he was gambling away
The money ran dry and when Mum wondered why
I revealed to her how much he played
My words broke their marriage
I broke my dads heart
It's my fault it all fell apart
[Lois Chimimba]
Now the mouth opens
The words start to come
In a great rush of freedom
The river will run
[Carly Bawden]
It's now my only secret
And its not even my worst
[Lois Chamimba]
Say it, Alice
Say it, Alice
Say it, Alice
Say it, Alice
And when the mouth opens
And the words start to come
In a great rush of freedom
The river will run
