Lyrics

You said the word and we're deterred
By all the world
With its flags unfurled
Hang those clothes until they dry
And I'll turn off the motor
And hear you sigh

I never understood your words for a moment
I'm caught in your turbo lag
What a drag

You're dressed to kill in black and red
But what's the crime when you feel like this
The doors are shut
No place to go
Nowhere to be seen
An absurdity

I never understood your words for a moment
I'm caught in your turbo lag
What a drag

Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da


We should burn like shooting stars
Or shout our names from mountain tops
We should learn the precious art
Of going home when the music stops

I never understood your words for a moment
I'm caught in your turbo lag, what a drag
I'm caught in your turbo lag, what a drag
I'm caught in your turbo lag, what a drag

Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da




nice early Oasis feel to this
the production is very nice
instrumentation solid and tight.
