6.33pm. 14th February 2019.

Shanti's down with the feely-feels. Ravi pretends to console her.
Shanti needs a hug, Ravi feels smug...

Ravi tries to cop a feel.

lyrics

Wake that heart of stone
To face another wartime morning

"Did you leave the milk out?
(I know you didn't, no you didn't)
Did you move the pictures again?
(I never said you did, but)

There's no war
But you're sealing the windows off
There's no war
But you're sealing the windows off

Draw the blinds, let the summer in
Step away from the battle now
You look dazed and displaced and ever
so confused

Trust is a precarious thing
Like an axe that swings on a spider string
But oh no … sweet Joan … you don't
have to fight alone...

"Did you forget the bills again?
(Did ya?)
Did you forget your pills again?

There's no war
But you're sealing the windows off
There's no war
But you're sealing the windows off

you've been gaslit, you've been gaslit
But you won't see it, you won't ever,
you won't ever
You've been gaslit …gaslit
But you won't see it. you won't ever, you
won't ever no.

It's the only way, the only way
The only way that I could reach out
To you

('Cos) I've been hurting you
Far too long
To stop now
