First track on the fourth Turin Brakes album, Dark On Fire. It has also become a favourite in the liveset in later years.
This is the last chance,
The last chance to heed the call,
This is the moment,
The moment awaits us all
You’ve got so many questions,
Buzzing around your brain yeah
This is the last time,
The last time you see my face,
And this is the moment,
The last chance to leave this place.
Sometimes I feel like I’m drowning,
I’m drowning inside the ground.
Don’t ask too many questions,
Don’t ask too many questions,
Don’t ask too many questions,
Don’t ask too many questions
Too many questions.
This is the feeling,
The colour you can’t describe,
And this is the shape it makes now.
It’s very revealing,
You crash a plane into my life
The deafening silent sound.
Don’t ask too many questions,
Don’t ask too many questions,
Don’t ask too many questions,
Don’t ask too many questions
Too many questions to me.
I’ve got to keep both feet on the ground
I’ve got to keep both feet on the ground
I’ve got to keep both feet on the ground
Don’t ask too many questions,
Don’t ask too many questions,
Don’t ask too many questions,
Don’t ask too many questions
Too many questions.
Two black lineS SCREAMING NOW like a GARDEN line.
Put one foot on the road now where the SUNBEAMS are driving,
With the WD-40 YEAH
screeching little brakes complain.
With MY briefcase empty and the holes in my shoes,
I try to stay friendly for the SHIMMERY ABLUE.
So tell my secretary now to hold ONTO my calls,
I believe I can hear through these walls.
Oh please save me, save me from myself.
I can’t be the only one stuck on the shelf.
You said you’d always fall for the underdog.
Well I’ve been dreaming of jetstreams and kicking up dust,
MMMMMMMMMMM DONE THE LUST
And with THE MM number 9 ticked off OF my mind,
Oh can you hear me screaming out now through the telephone line.
Oh please save me, save me from myself.
I can’t be the only one stuck on the shelf.
You said you’d always fall for the underdog
Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
