A love song of an obsessive nature that first appeared on the Manic Hedgehog demo. This version was included on the Drill EP. For Pablo Honey, the song was re-recorded and some of the lyrics changed.

Performed live, the song is an excellent showcase for Thom's incredible vocal abilities; he holds one note throughout the guitar solo.

This is, as with the rest of the album, a heavy guitar track. But it has a difference. It's an interesting song which slows to a different pace in the middle. The guitars get progressively louder at this point until they reach a sudden halt, which ends the track.

You are the sun and moon and stars are you
And I could never run away from you
You try at working out chaotic things
And why should I believe myself, not you?
It's like the world is going to end so soon
And why should I believe myself?

You me and everything caught in the fire
I can see me drowning, caught in the fire
You me and everything caught in the fire
And I can see me drowning, caught in the fire
