When first watching BBC drama Thirteen you were probably grabbed by its thrilling plot, enticing mystery and strong performances – but if you’re anything like us, you were also hooked on its catchy opening song, which plays over the opening credits and closing credits of every episode so far.

You can listen to the song above, and if you’re curious about the lyrics (and how they relate to Thirteen’s own tale of loneliness and deceit), you can read them below.

Kiss your face
Turn your cheek
Lay your head down
Lay your head down

Lay your head down
Lay your head down

Don't say nothing, no
I can see when you're lying oh
When you're alone, you're so alone
When you're alone, you're so alone

We all have dreams we forget
We all have dreams we forget
When you're alone, you're so alone
When you're alone, you're so alone

Now you want to go where no one is lonely
And rose water drips from my mouth like honey

Oh....
