lyrics

This isn’t for you, it’s not about you
Hearing a page turn through paper walls
Never your name but you heard it all –
Mumblings of witches, porn without pictures
Sigh for the fame, go outside, look above
We’ve got the same bit of sky to love

Over you and into the blue
I can’t spot a single one
For the clouds they conspire;
The full moon’s on fire
That is not the setting sun

Where is your lover? Did you lose each other?
It was a bad year, they keep what I sow
It’s coming back here so walk like you know

And I’ll tell it to the board: til my fortune’s restored
I cannot afford the truth
But I’ll do what I like; I’ll ride a mountain bike
Though the streets are flat and smooth

Do you get lonely? Ever so lonely?
I’ll play the same chords, the same lines of doubt
Again and again til they put the moon out

But I’m not scared; you seem well-prepared
And there’s skin upon your nose
So give good cheer for your neighbour of the year
I’m the hero no one chose
Give good cheer for your neighbour of the year
You’re the only one who knows
