You sauntered off and you said how’s tricks
You can’t mix d** with your politics
But we took and talked and lost the plot
And after that everything seemed fine
And this just stinks of beautiful collide
We drag each others worlds down under the tide
With intoxicated hands
Cold cold hearts
And well laid plans
Are you listening
Are you listening
As the days
Like the waves
Pile up behind you
La la la la la
Keep it on
Melt my plastic heart
Help me move on
Why can’t I move on
How do we escape
The grim pails of pouring rain
Go to a foreign island or a house in Spain
Going: La la la la la la oh
Oh how I’d k** to go
So erect the girders and rivets in
Our life our buildings and medicine
Well we all make the same mistakes
Our pitfalls pull us together
Are you listening
Are you listening
As the days
Like the waves
Pile up behind me
La la la la la
Keep it on
Melt my plastic heart
Help me move on
We kicked this round my bedroom floor (la la la la)
Hate the daylight hours but you wanted more (la la la la)
But the tide
The tide has drifted away
Are you listening
Are you listening
As the days
Like the waves
Decisively pull us under
La la la la la
Keep it on
Melt my plastic heart
Help me move on
On on on
And on
And on
There’s friends for life and acquaintances
There’s romance from great distances
There’s been so many casualties
But I cannot wallow over these
I know
