Artist: Kate Nash
Song: Skeleton Song

Skeleton, you are my friend
But you are made of bone
And you have got no flesh and blood running through you
To help you protect the bone

Yes, Skeleton, we have been friends for years
And you have seen me through some trials and tribulations and some tears
But everybody thinks I'm weird

And I should have known
That it wouldn't be long until you
You've got me standing in an awkward position
With unwanted attention
And a need for explanation
And it's not that I'm letting go of you
But I dunno what to do

Skeleton, we are so close
But you have got no body
So why do you insist on wearing clothes?
Skeleton, when we were young it was easier
Even though the other kids, they would tease me
I was only seven I had you, but now I'm 22

And now it's different
When I take you out and you
You've got me standing in an awkward postition
With unwanted attention
And a need for explanation
And it's not that I'm letting go of you
But I dunno what to do

And sometimes, at night
I dream of the most terrible things
I take a hammer and I creep out of bed
And I raise it high, and I smash your head
Fibular and tibular and ribs and cages, too
In fact, while I'm here, I'll smash the whole of you

Smaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaash

But...Skeleton, you are my friend
And I could never bring your life to an end
Yes, Skeleton, you are my friend
And I will be theere for you until the end

And even though when I take you out you've got me
You've got me standing in an awkward position
With unwanted attention
And a need for explanation
I could never let you go
And that is all I know
