Lyrics Communication - The Hotknives

Communication

He said that he liked her new dress
She heard that her hair was a mess
And when he gazed down at her knee
She thought she was no company
Put a smile before the pillow and the whole charade
Build a fire in the setting sun
Pick an olive from an olive tree but leave the branch
It’s not for you, so don’t you run
Communication
Communication
Communication
Breakdown
Lay down
Foxtrot.
Uganda, Cat, Knife
Officers, two men from Fife
The one who they said was berserk
An old English name for a berk
Took a stand in the middle of a sandwich bar
Took a dozen rolls, to a speeding car
Found an olive in the salad from the sandwich bar
The door ajar, but not our car
Communication
Communication
Communication
Breakdown
Lay down
They ran to the hills out in Rome
Two valuables wouldn’t come home
And here they’d decide to regroup
Put play to the happening coup
Asked the milkman for lift, in a speeding float
Took a while to say, in a Spanish way
Told the stony of a riot on a pleasure boat
A slight delay, yesterday
Communication
Communication
Communication
Breakdown
Lay down
