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
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
