[00:08.59]“My Favourite Wet Wednesday Afternoon”
[00:12.53]
[00:20.58]The sight of the façade of the Palace Hotel, Southend
[00:26.77]With every sense I think of you - it sends me round the bend
[00:33.41]Love that moves the sun in heaven, and all the stars
[00:40.09]This is just a fraction of what is rightfully ours
[00:46.21]
[00:46.73]Please whirl me around
[00:49.97]There's no earthly reason
[00:53.13]No earthly reason
[00:56.37]There is no earthly reason
[00:59.79]For darkness after dawn
[01:04.00]
[01:06.16]It's not that I want to be rich, I just want to be heroically poor
[01:12.56]Money may buy happiness, but you can give me more
[01:18.96]I want back my favourite wet Wednesday afternoon
[01:25.42]I'll take my dreams to the grave with me
[01:28.60]If you don't say something soon
[01:31.53]
[01:32.34]Please whirl me around
[01:35.34]There's no earthly reason
[01:38.37]No earthly reason
[01:41.32]There is no earthly reason
[01:45.03]For a boy to burn
[01:49.42]
[01:51.67]The Peak Frean's factory pumping smoke reminds me of the past
[01:57.23]Of waking up quite terrified, of always coming last
[02:04.02]Are you, like me, looking up at the sky?
[02:07.26]Or do you look down as you read?
[02:10.29]The red apples are the sweetest," he said, but green is the colour for me
[02:16.20]
[02:16.88]Please whirl me around
[02:20.14]There's no earthly reason
[02:23.41]No earthly reason
[02:26.31]There is no earthly reason
[02:29.68]For rotting fruit to fall
[02:36.10]
[02:36.20]The smell of chips on a summer evening in Southend
[02:42.32]With every sense I think of you, it sends me round the bend
[02:48.64]Love that moves the sun in heaven, and all the stars
[02:55.15]This is just a fraction of what is rightfully ours
[03:01.42]
[03:01.70]Please whirl me around
[03:04.73]There's no earthly reason
[03:07.89]No earthly reason
[03:10.95]There is no earthly reason
[03:14.16]For a boy to burn
