Kill The Lights |
She’s the girl with the long scarf flowing, |
corduroy coat and lips so loving |
Nights got shorter and her dreams got longer, |
so strange |
Has a bird upon her shoulder |
Used to hear it when I got to hold her |
I don’t know if that bird song died |
Kill the lights, 'cause we’re getting older |
Watch the news and drink more water |
She likes a man with his trousers shorter |
I’m in trouble with a poet’s daughter |
Found a hole and it’s letting in water |
She says love is a young man’s game |
Close your eyes, we might just make it |
Pretty soon you’ll be proud to fake it |
Drink up, baby, and I’ll take you home |
Boy at the bus stop shouting |
English dreams of English louting |
I hope he’s happy when the world stops hurting |
Paints all the clocks and sleeps for days, |
stares at the stars and floats away |
Watch the news and drink more water |
I’m in trouble with somebody’s daughter |
She likes a man with his trousers shorter |
Paints all the clocks and sleeps for days |
Stares at the stars and floats away |
