lyrics

Take me near the sea
We’ll leave before it gets too late
No bag packed – no looking back
Strap in and cut the lines of fate
Through glass, the green light flickers
Strobes the innocence
And blurs the information
There’s a war going on

Behind the shed, strawberry red
Where the pieces of your world collide
The earth’s wet – tomato sweat
Duck down and carry me inside
Through glass, your blue eyes flicker
Burning out
Twin missiles launched, never surrendered
In this war that’s going on

Your fear of heights and blood
Stops you tonight
I’m up here, you know
I’m up here
I tried not to mix you up
Not hard enough
I’m up here, you know
I’m up here

Abandon subtlety – just get in the car
And drive away
You made your choice
And now it’s gonna stick, stick, stick
Like vinyl
Punch the desk and it’ll settle again
Into the groove
Into the pattern
Copy, paste, delete

Pack up your troubles, boy
Pack up your troubles, boy

Your fear of heights and blood
Stops you tonight
I’m up here, you know
I’m up here
I tried not to mess you up
Not hard enough
I’m up here, you know
I’m up here

When nothing’s said…and done
It’s safer closer to the ground
Play hide-and-seek – it’s such... fun
Until you don’t get found
It happened in the greenhouse
(Just smile)
We’re living in a greenhouse
(Just smile)
Try living in a greenhouse all the time

Their new album SPITFIRE is out now. ... more
