Cupid

from Megara by Late Arrivals Club

lyrics

Oh Cupid, won't you leave me alone?
My chest is full of arrows
but my heart's made of stone,
I know you think you're helping
but it's cutting to the bone,
Oh Cupid, won't you leave me alone?

Oh Cupid, you're losing your touch -
seems like everybody's breaking up
or caught beneath a crush,
and if that's what I'm missing,
I'm not missing very much,
Oh Cupid, you're losing your touch.

I arrived here alone
and that's how I'll leave,
with my heart in my hands
on my own two feet,
And I'll make you answer for
all the things you've done,
there's no place you can hide,
there's nowhere you can run.

Oh Cupid, have you ever been in love?
Do you know how it feels
on the other side of that gun?
I guess you're sheltered from the crossfire
when you're shooting from above.
Oh Cupid, have you ever been in love?

Oh Cupid, is it lonely up there?
Did you execute your friends?
Did you kill the ones that cared?
Did you draw back your bow
when they were begging to be spared?
Oh Cupid, is it lonely up there?

I arrived here alone
and that's how I'll leave,
with my heart in my hands
on my own two feet,
and I'll make you answer for
all the things you've done,
there's no place you can hide,
there's nowhere you can run.

Oh Cupid, where have you gone?
Feels like it's been a hundred years
since the sunlight shone,
I didn't mean those things I said,
they were cruel, I was wrong,
Oh Cupid, where have you gone?

about

Late Arrivals Club image

Late Arrivals Club UK

While jumping between studying poetry and philosophy at UEA, Nick Herrmann realised that he didn't have to choose between them - he could unite them in the form of songwriting, and pursue that instead. Combined with his love of alt-country, and his fascination with American folklore, the result is a very English take on americana, thick with symbolism, existentialism and stories about outlaws. ... more
