*Lyrics below* 🧡

[Intro]
Oh nah no no
Oh nah no no

[Chorus]
Mother may I sleep with danger, please
It's been knocking on my door since I was seventeen
Oh oh and you saw but you chose to ignore
But now it's more than a wish it's a dream
Now I don't understand how you can hold me back
You said baby learn your lessons when you step on cracks
Oh there's no time to fall
Your existence would call
And see experimenting

[Verse 1]
And I guess there's just no other way
I've been drawn to a new escape
Cause I'm wearing bamboo and I'm picking up zoots
I've slipped away
Now I'm turning on a rise love
And your sachi (?) sealed a deal for us

[Verse 2]
Oh and dangers got me wrapped up round his thump
It's not a trap
Cause I'm in love
I said I'm in love
I said I'm in love
Yeah oh oh
I said I'm in love
I said I'm in love, love

[Chorus]
Mother may I sleep with danger, please
It's been knocking on my door since I was seventeen
Oh oh and you saw but you choose to ignore
But now it's more than a wish it's a dream
Now I don't understand how you can hold me back
You said baby learn your lessons when you step on cracks
Oh no there's no time to fall
How you go oh oh oh oh

[Outro]
So mother may I sleep with danger, please
It's been knocking on my door since I was seventeen
Oh oh and you saw but you choose to ignore
But now it's more than a wish it's a dream

The lyrics for "Mother, May I sleep with Danger?" are here:

Oh nah no no
Oh nah no no

Mother may I sleep with danger, please
It's been knocking on my door since I was seventeen
Oh oh and you saw but you chose to ignore
But now it's more than a wish it's a dream
Now I don't understand how you can hold me back
You said babe you learn your lessons when you step on cracks
Oh there's no time to fall
Your existence would call
"Anti experimenting"

And I guess there's just no other way
I've been drawn to a new escape
Cause I'm wearing bamboo and I'm picking off zoots
I've slipped away
Now I'm tongueing on a Rizla
And your sachet snow's a deal for us
Oh dangers got me wrapped around his thumb but it's no trap cos I'm in love

I said I'm in love (x2)
Yeah Oh Oh
Love
I said I'm in love
I said I'm in love (love)

Mother may I sleep with danger, please
It's been knocking on my door since I was seventeen
Oh oh and you saw but you choose to ignore
But now it's more than a wish it's a dream
Now I don't understand how you can hold me back
You said baby learn your lessons when you step on cracks
Oh no there's no time to fall
Your existence will call
"Anti experimenting"
How you go oh oh oh oh

So mother may I sleep with danger, please
It's been knocking on my door since I was seventeen
Oh oh and you saw but you choose to ignore
But now it's more than a wish it's a dream

<3 love, light and blessings, Joy x

The fact that her pants match the guitar color... Every detail counts. Good job, Colors! Can't believe such a simple idea could work so perfectly. Kudos to production and all the talented musicians.

[Neylena]

Saw her open for Jacob Banks in London - she was so amazing! Been wondering who she was after the show so glad I found this!

[iheartboyz]

Feel like she’s in love with the guitarist and he’s in love with her

[tartarus]

My grandma passed away many years before my grandpa. He loved her dearly, every day was hard for him. When he passed, this song played at his funeral. Reminds us of their union in heaven & them meeting at last. Always fills my eyes with tears, I hope they’re enjoying their eternal comfort together. I miss you grandpa & grandma, rest in peace 💕 Love you forever

I'm seeing a lot of Amy Winehouse comments but I can't help but notice that raspy twang is reminiscent of Billie Holiday

[peaceiladel]

Skin is one of the best albums I've heard in the last couple years! Thank you Joy Crookes for giving us such beautiful music.

[esztergyimesi]
