Something In My Eye

Cover Buy on iTunes | Video on YouTube | | Guitar tabs | 0 comments

Third song from the fourth album Dark on Fire. Olly referred to the last lines of the 2nd chorus in a horses mouth published in July 2006. This was released as a digital single on 13 January 2008. The song is about being a parent.

From the chaos of the game,
Life spat you out
You dont need a name,
I remember you somehow
Those tiny little hands,
Hold up my world
I put you in my plans,
My black hole little girl

There’s no doubt about us,
Time is running out around us
I can’t cry,
It’s just something in my eye.

From the deepness of the sea,
To the shallows of the city
I travel down the phone line,
Bodyless and free,
Those tiny little hands,
Those tiny little plans,
Are turning into towers,
Crushed against the sun.

There’s no doubt about us,
Time is running out around us
I can’t cry,
It’s just something in my eye.

Something passed right through me,
Someone came and threw me,
No one ever knew me,
People shadows to me.

There’s no doubt about us,
Time is running out around us
I can’t cry,
It’s just something in my eye.

    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
