Well grey clouds wrapped round the town like elastic |
| [00:20.86] |
Cars stood like toys made of Taiwanese plastic |
| [00:24.92] |
The boy laughed at the spastic dancing round in the rain |
| [00:33.17] |
While laundrettes cleaned clothes, high heals rubbed toes |
| [00:36.94] |
Puddles splashed huddles of bus stop crows |
| [00:41.26] |
Dressed in their suits and their boots well they all look the same |
| [00:49.74] |
I took myself down to the cafe to find all the boys lost in books |
| [00:55.49] |
And crackling vinyl |
| [00:57.58] |
And carved out a poem above the urinal that read |
| [01:05.57] |
Don't you cry for the lost |
| [01:07.72] |
Smile for the living |
| [01:09.59] |
Get what you need and give what you'r given |
| [01:13.47] |
Life's for the living so live it |
| [01:16.95] |
Or you're better of dead |
| [01:34.62] |
While the evening pulled the moon out of its packet |
| [01:38.26] |
Stars shone like buttons on an old man's jacket |
| [01:42.28] |
We needed a nail but wetacked it 'til it fell off the wall |
| [01:50.62] |
While pigeon's pecked trains, sparks flew like planes |
| [01:54.76] |
The rain showed the rainbows in the oil stains |
| [01:58.65] |
And we all had new iPhones but no one had no one to call |
| [02:06.95] |
And i stumbled down to the stomach of the town |
| [02:10.80] |
Where the widow takes memories to slowly drown |
| [02:14.93] |
With a hand to the sky and a mist in her eye she said |
| [02:23.26] |
Don't you cry for the lost |
| [02:25.42] |
Smile for the living |
| [02:27.49] |
Get what you need and give what you'r given |
| [02:31.25] |
Life's for the living so live it |
| [02:34.72] |
Or you're better of dead |
| [03:08.52] |
Well i'm sick of this town, this blind man's forage |
| [03:12.52] |
They take your dreams down and stick them in storage |
| [03:16.24] |
You can have them back son when you've paid off your mortgage and loans |
| [03:20.98] |
Oh hell with this place, i'll go it my own way |
| [03:28.77] |
I'll stick out my thumb and trudge down the highway |
| [03:32.94] |
Someday someone must be going my way home |
| [03:40.92] |
Till then i'll make my bed from a disused car |
| [03:45.08] |
With a matress of leaves and a blanket of stars |
| [03:49.04] |
And i'll stitch the words into my heart with a needle and thread |
| [03:57.37] |
Don't you cry for the lost |
| [03:59.72] |
Smile for the living |
| [04:01.60] |
Get what you need and give what you'r given |
| [04:05.45] |
You know life's for the living so live it |
| [04:08.81] |
Or you're better of dead |
| [04:14.13] |
Don't you cry for the lost |
| [04:16.19] |
Smile for the living |
| [04:18.52] |
Get what you need and give what you'r given |
| [04:23.44] |
Life's for the living so live it |
| [04:28.17] |
Or you're better of dead |
