Lyrics
She said, “Meeting you’s just like finding money
It’s the kind of joy that reminds you of your cage.”
So he says, “I’m not being funny, but
I’m not the kind of boy that joy pays a living wage.”
And I’m like, “There’s no such thing as last trains
There’s just bigger gaps between them.”
So I say, “There’s no such thing as tears in the rain
If no one’s close enough to see them.”
And if we don’t give it a rattle they will turn us into cattle, oh…
Let’s find a face I know, A place to go
I came to take you home
Pebbledash house with a 2-step beat
Drunk parents ask me where I see myself
Sun goes up, sun goes down
My love for you will not be beaten
Pebbledash house with a 2-step beat
Dumb billboards ask me where I see myself
Sun goes up, sun goes down
My love for you will not be beaten
I see myself living in a cathedral of my own fantasies
All bathed in roses on the centre stage
I see myself in strangers’ houses, the subject of
Some lovelorn, fucked-up, drugged-up serenade
I see myself… and I think yeah boy, you could come of age
Directing death cults in the Everglades
Drinking Palomas and Perrier
Driving beauty queens on benzedrine to Gretna Green
My A65 Star’s British Racing Green
(…and then I woke up)
With a daughter we called ‘England’
In a town we named ‘Despair’
With a future forged from nothing
But a feeling in the air
(But what a feeling, what a feeling, oh…)
They’ll tell you no one comes from nowhere
And nothing means a thing
And nowhere that you’re going
Can compare to where you’ve been
They’ll tell ya no one comes from nowhere
And nothing means a thing
And nowhere that you’re going
Can compare to where you’ve been
And I say, “Fuck ‘em…”
