"Oh please don't go--we'll eat you up--we love you so!" ~Maurice Sendak

"Breezeblocks" by Alt-J was based on this favorite children's book, Where the Wild Things Are.

[Verse 1]
She may contain the urge to run away
But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks
Cetirizine, your fever’s gripped me again
Never kisses, all you ever send are fullstops (la la la la)
Do you know where the wilds things go
They go along to take your honey (la la la la)
Break down, now weep,
Build up breakfast, now let’s eat
My love, my love, love, love (la la la la)

[Hook]
Muscle to muscle and toe to toe
The fear has gripped me, but here I go
My heart sinks as I jump up
Your hand grips hand as my eyes shut
Ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah - ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah

[Verse 2]
Do you know where the wilds things go
They go along to take your honey (la la la la)
Break down, now sleep,
Build up breakfast, now let’s eat
My love, my love, love, love (la la la la)
She bruises, coughs, she splutters pistol shots
But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks
She’s morphine, queen of my vaccine
My love, my love, love, love - la la la la

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
She may contain the urge to run away
But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks
Germolene, disinfect the scene
My love, my love, love, love
Please don't go, I love you so... My lovely

[Refrain](x2)
Please don't go, please don't go
I love you so, I love you so
Please don't go, please don't go
I love you so, I love you so
Please break my heart...

[Outro]
Please don’t go, I’ll eat you whole
I love you so [Repeated]
