Question
Dear pices child,

I have a question about the singer Alison Moyet. She has made a song but I dont know the title of this song. I know a few lines though: Who will shelter me? Who can take your pains? It is a rather sad song. I have tried to find it but all in vain. Even visited her own website. Maybe you know it. I would be very obliged.

Yours sincerely,
Emile

Answer
Hi Emile

Whose sticky hands are there
And what is this empty place
I could be happily lost but for your face
Here stands an empty house
That used to  be full of life
Now it's home for no one and his wife
It's a hovel and...
Who can take your place?
I can't face another day
And who will shelter me?
It's cold in here
Cover me
Under these fingertips a strange body rolls and dips
I close my eyes and you're here again
Later as day descends
I'll shout from my window
To anyone listening, "I'm losing"
Who can take your place?
I can't face another day
And who will shelter me?
It's cold in here
Cover me
Oh in a plague of hateful questioning
Tap dancing every syllable from ear to ear
I hear the din of lovers jousting
When I'm hiding with my head to the wall
Who will shelter me?
It's cold in here
