Stripped to the waist
We fall into the river
Cover your eyes
So you don't know the secret
I've been trying to hide
We held our breath
To see our names are written
On the wreck of '86
That was the year
I knew the panic was over
Yes since we found out
Since we found out
That anything could happen
Anything could happen
After the war we said we'd fight together
I guess we thought that's just what humans do
Letting darkness grow
As if we need its palette and we need its colour
But now I've seen it through
And now I know the truth
That anything could happen
Anything could happen
Baby, I'll give you everything you need
I'll give you everything you need, oh
I'll give you everything you need
But I don't think I need you
Stripped to the waist
We fall into the river
Cover your eyes
So you don't know the secret
I've been trying to hide
We held our breath
To see our names are written
On the wreck of '86
That was the year
I knew the panic was over
Yes since we found out
Since we found out
That anything could happen
Anything could happen
I know it's gonna be...
But I don't think I need you.

We held our breath, to see our names are written on the wreck of '86/That was the year I knew the panic was over
Glistening synth-banger that took the lead-off single duties on new silver-piped R&B Brit threat’s sophomore utterance – crystalline, haunting and sparkle-punched with 80s synth tricks, sadly, it’s her finest lyrical moment on Halcyon, a deep-water plunge of an allegory into her birth year, ’86.
