Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Did you know
I can claim the dreamer from the dream?
Make you feel
Everything you've never even seen
[PreChorus]
Yeah, it's been
A long, a long, a long, a long, a long, long
[Chorus]
You've been my
Favourite for a long time
[Verse 2]
Stitch and fall
The faces rearranged
You will see
Beauty give the way to something strange
[PreChorus]
Yeah, it's been
A long, a long, a long, a long, a long, long
[Chorus]
You've been my
Favourite for a long time
[Verse 3]
Well, look who's just the newest clown
Thirty-five hours coming down
How the sun shines on new pavement
And you don't even feel it
[Verse 4]
It's a cry far from bed radios
And days spent playing football indoors
When they painted town with Thatcher
They never even wanted to know ya
Feel alone?
[Verse 5]
I can slip the sunshine to the day
Yeah
Stick your heart to everything you say
Yeah
To be gone, be gone, be gone, be gone, be gone
[Chorus]
You've been my favourite for a long time
You've been my favourite for a long time
[Bridge]
Favourite for a long time
Favourite for a long time
Favourite for a long time
[Verse 6]
Did you know
Cities on return are often strange?
Yeah, and now
Every time you blink, you feel it change
[PreChorus]
And it's been
A long, a long, a long, a long, long, long
[Chorus]
You've been my
Favourite for a while
[Verse 7]
Ah, it makes sense when you understand
The misery made me another marked man
And I'm always looking over my shoulder
And each new day, I get another year older
[Verse 8]
Shoulder bound to the frame of a door
Chewed into shape like a stone on the shore
But if there was lightning in me
You'd know who it was for
[Verse 9]
Did you know
I can claim the dreamer from the dream?
Make you feel
Everything you've never even seen
[PreChorus]
Yeah, it's been
A long, a long, a long, a long, a long, long
[Chorus]
You've been my
Favourite for a long time
You've been my
Favourite for a long time
You've been my
Favourite for a long time
[Outro]
You've been my
Favourite for a long time
