Please Stand Up

British Sea Power

Take me somewhere quiet please

These motorway exit gates

Are calling to me dearly

And I need a place to go

And even numbers on a timetable

Arrivals and departures and

Those places, names

Never seemed so strange before

If there's anyone asking, did you get a rush?

There's no point in asking, it wasn't enough

There's nobody else here, so please stand up

If there's anyone asking, did you get a rush?

There's no point in asking, it wasn't enough

There's nobody else here, so please stand up

The occultation of a summer sun

Was burning holes in everyone

Defenceless, what was left inside could finally escape

It seemed as if the streets had melted

It seemed as if the air was scented

I wish all of time could be like this

If there's anyone asking, did you get a rush?

There's no point in asking, it wasn't enough

There's nobody else here, so please stand up

If there's anyone asking, did you get a rush?

There's no point in asking, it wasn't enough

There's nobody else here, so please stand up

And then all of the sudden it's all better better

A little excitement makes us wetter wetter

Oh my love

Again, again, again, again my love
