Hatecrush - Momus

The big thing left for me to do

Would be to reconcile with you

But staying as you are, forever mad

I’d say that’s also okay

It’s passionate in its own way

To be your hatecrush isn’t bad

You mattered more than anybody

There is no-one else like you, and I should know

I’ve scoured the world

Your pleasing face, your pleasing form

Your tastes so far beyond the norm

And though you live across the sea

You’re still so deep inside me

When I think about the world I see your face

Your genetic Venn Diagram, Malaysia and Pakistan

Was something immigration could do

But now we’re living in an age of borders and baricades

And there’ll be fewer made like you

And though you live across the sea

You’re still so deep inside me

When I think about the world I see your face

And though perhaps you hate me now

I know, or I suspect somehow

There’s something we both hate more than that

The world in which people who

Combine to make a girl like you

Are crushed before they meet

And though you live across the sea

You’re still so deep inside me

When I think about the world I see your face
