Mind over Money

The classic! One of the best songs Turin Brakes ever wrote, probably. Released as a single way back in The Optimist LP era.

Mind over money, bent over backwards
Light up my life like a very last cigarette.
Time after time dear we will just lie here
Staring at ceilings it doesn’t really matter where we are.

Wearing a smile like its going out of style,
Look at yourself, there’s nothing in there.
Just put points on a grave stone.
Can you see yourself sinking?
Staring at ceilings, it doesn’t really matter where you are.

That’s alright I warned myself
Keep blood on the inside and nowhere else
Up on a shelf that’s where I need to be
la da da dee

I need to get Something
I can’t sleep for red eye.
Internal combustion can that really happen?
I take it back yeah? Whatever I did yeah?
I didn’t mean it, I was only joking.

But what does this matter in the grand scheming sky?
All that I multiply adds up to nothing

That’s alright I warned myself
Keep blood on the inside and nowhere else
Up on a shelf that’s where I need to be
la da da dee
