Singing As You Leave

Straighten your tie
Echo the tired lines
Building a pyramid of lies
Abandon us while singing as you leave
And now decisions made in ignorance
Are carved in history
You'll set the bridge on fire
And blindly drag us on
Demonise the time before
No attempt to justify
The principles you left on the floor
Won't accept that's what you are
Evidence you can't ignore
Tired of all your fucking lies
Taking shots you hope you don't score
You're just a dog that caught the car
Full speed ahead
Towards the looming end
In truth, we're drifting without a plan
The creeping panic written on your face
So close your eyes
Desperate, put your fingers in your ears
Sing la la la, la la la
Declare ignoble myths, it's what we really want
Demonise the time before
No attempt to justify
The principles you left on the floor
Won't accept that's what you are
Evidence you can't ignore
Tired of all your fucking lies
Taking shots you hope you don't score
You're just a dog that caught the car

Have we pushed ourselves to far this time
The rising river overflows
The spiteful banks too cruel, too steep to climb
Dragged beneath by undertow
There must be a better song to sing
Some harmony to mend our broken wings
Protect us for whatever we may bring
Are we alright now?
The warm sun dries our weary heads
The water slips back to the sea
Trust in all the things we said
Together in our sanctuary
There must be a better song to sing
Some harmony to mend our broken wings
Protect us for whatever we may bring
Are we alright now?
I know there's a better song to sing
A harmony to mend our broken wings
Protect us for whatever we may bring
I think we're alright now?

Football fan
From the start you showed me the way
Football fan
Follow your team home and away
Anticipation of the afternoon
Waiting for the kick-off in the rain
They never hunger, the glory hunters
The cats that got the cream
You pulled me under, when I was younger
Support your local team
Football fan
Followed your team through my teenage years
Football fan
Ignore the trophy-chasing sneers
The hope that kills us springs eternal
Daydream of cheers of victory
They never hunger, the glory hunters
The cats that got the cream
You pulled me under, when I was younger
Support your local team
They never hunger, the glory hunters
The cats that got the cream
You pulled me under, when I was younger
Support your local team
They switch to a different team
When they run out of steam
The cats have lost their cream
You gave me a sense of pride
To follow my local side
Support your local team
You said support the local team
I will support the local team
We will support the local team

You drew a life in the margins of a book
You bought when you were seventeen
A graphic novel of success and pain
Found on the page of Judy Blume
Moments sketched in red ink and in black
Characters appear then they are gone
Your aspirations and your darkest fears
All remembered and recorded here
The book discarded, left on the night bus
Found on the ride from home to Hope
Rain slows down the journey through the town
And I can read your history
Did you leave it there for me to find
Or do you miss it now it's gone
Was this all that you wanted to say
Are there adventures still to tell
Your aspirations and your darkest fears
Your hopes and doubts remembered here

Bridge Will Burn
02:38
|
|
||
|
We're tiny castles and we're impossible shells
Our eyes heavy with wine and with lead
Eyelids they slide shut as the conversation ends
and a cartoon anvil falls on our heads
i feel selfish and foolish and embarrassed and shy
I listen to you when you're tired and you cry
this bridge will burn and we have no boat
as the waves crash around us
we sit by the flames
