lyrics

Feet fell out under me, now I'm
Laid on my back on Thomas Greene
Told the story around cause I
Liked the sound of it
I was the
Sympathy king for a day
So I prayed
You’d notice
Captive audience
Our time was ours to spend alone

But no indication
Standard issue reservation

But there was only so much I could take and so I
Tried to make you aware
But then we talked about Cote du Rhones and Rome I didn't really
Care (for your holiday plans)
Yeah I was careful about what I’d say I couldn't
Quite make you aware
I kept it silent, it remained an overture

To my friends and family
When I was speaking honestly
It had something to do with the
Edgy cool of it
I was the
High drama king for a day
So I stayed
And waited
Girl give me a sign
A cautious bro for all of time

But no indication
Standard issue reservation

But there was only so much I could take and so I
Tried to make you aware
But then we talked about
Holiday geese and Nice I didn't really
Care (for your holiday plans)
Yeah I was careful about what I’d say I couldn't
Quite make you aware
I kept it silent, it remained an overture

The end of an era
Guess it was back a while ago
A fond farewell to self control
Tried to make you aware
Tried to make you aware

But there was only so much I could take and so I
Tried to make you aware
But then we talked about
Val d’ornon and Cannes I didn't really
Care (for your holiday plans)
Yeah I was careful about what I’d say I couldn't
Quite make you aware
I kept it silent, it remained an overture

Kept it silent, it remained an overture
Kept it silent, it remained an overture

Drop the needle and drop right out of all the worries of the world. If only for a while. It’s totally worth it. These are fantastic tunes from a legendary band. Just mind blowingly beautiful then savage then beautiful again. Yep…. bit like life. Enjoy…. johno71
