about

I Green Boots.
The martyr of a mountain slumped in snow.
A mannequin dumped in the death zone,
Or a crisp packet poking through the snow?

I see you've climbed alone,
Now your torch is dead and its deathly cold.
You're the crackle of a dying radio.
Take this opportunity.

So why do I care where you die David?
It's not cos I want company.
It's just you get to choose your own position.
So don't die in a heap,
Sit beside me and sleep.

You love her too much to lie a blemish on Everest's face.
You crave her danger, I know that fever.
Oh hey, if you want more O2 climb another place.
You passed before me twice before,
and twice before I've watched you heart lugging your swollen brain
as it digs in its heels, as it kicks and it screams:
"Are you not a father, a son back below?
another frozen ghost's a credit to no one"

Now the pilgrims pass,
See their little lights blinking up the ridge.
And a shaking cold hand don't dare connect.
Take this opportunity!

So why do I care where you die David?
It's not cos I want company.
It's just you get to choose your own position.
So don't die in a heap,
Sit beside me and sleep!
