Stood under the wire, waiting for that hum to come along
You got it wrong, so wrong my dear
We never flicked that switch to on
And do you feel like sometimes you never get it right?
Well tonight you shine
A hundred worker bees are harnessing the light that's running underneath your feet
Now it's not much, but enough, if the innards refuse to rust
But no tests and no x-rays
Begin the trumpets! They're playing your cacophony
You tiptoe so slow (like I'm really still asleep)
And do you feel like a broken wire's enough to save you from the enemy?
No tests and no x-rays
What's inside here, stays

Promenade

You can't go on
You never sing along
The crowd always want more
The seaside calls
Just like it did before
Those ice-cream stalls...
When the night falls
These lights will keep you warm
Come fall into my arms & wake on the promenade
Cold to the bone
The mainland calls
So you take the floor, for one night
You try so hard
But never get away
From lights that glow all day
Can I crash against your feet?

The quiet ones

When you wake you don't say anything
Look up to the stars
Oh where is my Great Bear?
Hitch a lift into town with thumbs down
But it's too late to walk, but sadly not to talk
So loud you can't hear anything
You drift away
Do you recall what Paul said?
"It's the quiet ones with most to say"
In the park the crowd folds backwards
"Where did all the stars go?"
"They've left us all alone"
Page one: The sun's not coming back!
Your cloud cover story just won't make the cut
Head down, you carve a path to the edge
And walk away
Find me in the library
It's the quiet ones with most to say

In the playground

When your mind's empty, what do you think about?
Is it all dark? Is it all numb in there?
Oh won't you tell me, what do you think about?
When in a crowded room, would you look for me first?
You leave me alone, all alone in there.
Oh won't you tell me, would you look for me?
With just one hand the space between us can be Kapowed
A million pieces will free us from this place
Out on the playground, it's the boys v the girls
Things never change
Oh won't you tell me, why do we always fight?
When you look in the mirror do you see Goddess?
Don't make a sound
We'll settle down
The space between just moved
Without a sound
We'll go to sleep
In and out of weeks
There's no eruption here - no bomb to guide you
