I've Become Misguided - Ed Harcourt

Sometimes I’m afraid of my shadow

It’s always following me

In my home in an old trombone lives a family of bumblebees

And I’m fearful of the sharp sting that fractures through the skin

Walking on the dark scorched earth

And I’ve become misguided

Become misguided

No I couldn’t hide it

No I couldn’t hide it

With things hanging out in the floorboards

Shuffling back and forth

Can’t get to sleep and dream of jumping sheep

And I can hear the wind blow north

And I’m fearful of the sharp sting that fractures through the skin

Walking in the dark scorched earth

And I’ve become misguided

Become misguided

No I couldn’t hide it

No I couldn’t hide it

Hope an angel watches me nightly cos I need security

This white spectre sees what might elude me

Protect me from the bumblebee

And I’m fearful of the sharp sting that fractures through the skin

Walking on the dark scorched earth

And I’ve become misguided

Become misguided

No I couldn’t hide it

No I couldn’t hide it

Become misguided

Become misguided

No I couldn’t hide it

Yeah I couldn’t hide it

Walking on the dark scorched earth (x4)

Yeah I’ve become misguided

Become misguided

I couldn’t hide it

I couldn’t hide it

I’ve become misguided

Become misguided

I couldn’t hide it

Yeah I couldn’t hide it

I couldn’t hide it

Oh babe I couldn’t hide it

I hope there’ll never be someone, yeah there might be someone watching me
