Things I Would Have Swapped For Heart Shaped Sunglasses, 2001-06
Johnny Foreigner
No! Hands!
Well, small explosions lead to core implosions
Makes tired valves burst for more explosions
I know you won't understand, yr head in yr hands and yr out
And I walked out to the pale sunlight
Where the cool blue sky meet the cold grey deck
There's nothing I would say no to.
We could make this work if you wanted it
We could turn this cell to a positive
We could tape it & pack it & sell it in shops
(Sure! Sure! Sure! Sure!)
Cover the cost
Cover! the! cost!
So if yr clinging onto something, better hope it's not yr last drink
Don't think clarity's yr friend tonight
(So get it right! So get it right!)
When the only thing yr sure of is yr only going to care come daylight
(So get it right! So get it right! So get it right!)
And how you always come out crying when the personals start flying
Like yr ever going to win in a fight
(So get it right! So get it right!)
And either way you play it, yr never going to sleep tonight
(So get it right! So get it right! So get it right!)
All those tired treaties of where our lips fit got lost on beaches
(Haven't we covered this bit?)
I know you won't understand, yr head in yr hands and yr out
And I mourn the morning festival crowd
All the misspent youth round the recharge booth
There's nothing I would say no to.
We could make this work if you wanted it
We could turn this cell to a positive
We could tape it & pack it & sell it in shops
(Sure! Sure! Sure! Sure!)
Cover the cost
Cover! the! cost!
So if yr clinging onto something, better hope it's not yr last drink
Don't think clarity's yr friend tonight
(So get it right! So get it right!)
When the only thing yr sure of is yr only going to care come daylight
(So get it right! So get it right! So get it right!)
And how you always come out crying when the personals start flying
Like yr ever going to win in a fight
(So get it right! So get it right!)
And either way you play it, yr never going to sleep tonight
(So get it right! So get it right! So get it right!)
I know you won't understand, you won't understand
We speak the same language but you won't understand
I know you won't understand, you won't understand
We speak the same language but you won't understand
(So get it right! So get it right! So get it right!)
And how you always come out crying when the personals start flying
Like yr ever going to win in a fight
(So get it right! So get it right!)
And either way you play it, yr never going to sleep tonight
(So get it right! So get it right! So get it right!)
(So get it right! So get it right! So get it right!)
(So get it right! So get it right! So get it right!)
