Lyrics
Here i sit under Laburnum
Watching strangers cast aspersions
They don't know me, see what i see
Only hell bent on pre-judging
In these crowds i just can't function
Unfit for social consumption
Get confused and can't discern
The hyperbolic afterburn
And if you see me crying
Well don't you worry i'm pacifying
Just turning wine into water
Through this overworked aorta
I'm flying, hold on tight
Cause we're up with the gods
Could there be longer odds ? i know
Defying the lightening rods
Cause we're up with the gods
Breaking law from the sods Gung Ho!
Is this melancholy folly
Filling up my sorry trolley?
Pushed around in aimless places
Keep my head down, avoiding faces
Why should i care
, nothing to share
But these thoughts left open and bare
Need a place to avoid pain
I'm heading for the other side of rain
And if you see me crying
Well don't you worry i'm pacifying
Just turning wine into water
Through this over worked aorta
And the better that i get
The more that i stand back
To eye up all the chances of a planned pincer attack
Hold on you've just gotta be strong
And i won't let you go till its safe and we're gone oh no
Cause we're up with the gods
Breaking law from the sods Gung Ho!
And i won' let you go till its safe and we're gone oh no.
