lyrics

Tonight, I Saved A Life

I’ll write a book about this life
And you won’t think it fiction
I want you to like me
So I’ll speak in actor’s diction
But I bet that you’ll love me
And I’m known to trust a flutter
The rain may fall but we’ll dance on
Like coins fell through the gutter

Is this place the worst place that you have ever been?
Is my sweat the sweetest you have felt on your skin?
That horror, that horror, that horror that you knew
Is music, it's music that you are dancing to

I kissed a girl soft on the lips
And she returned the favour
I sucked on sodden beermats
To taste liberty’s sweet flavour
But I was sold headaches
Left but apathy to savour
And the one who stole my heart
Went free spite bad behaviour

So look to me don't try to see that television
Look to me don't try to see that television

Do you feel my warm sweat, do you feel my beating heart?
If you want to see heaven I know just the place to start
Dig deep, dig dark, deep between your flesh
For that motion, emotion, that you think suits you best

I kissed a girl soft on the lips
And she returned the favour
I sucked on sodden beermats
To taste liberty’s sweet flavour
But I was sold headaches
Left but apathy to savour
And the one who stole my heart
Went free spite bad behaviour

So look to me don't try to see that television
Look to me don't try to see that television

Tonight you're drinking at The Queen's Head
Same hopeful thinking, same hopeless dread
Tonight you're moving at The Queen's Head
Don't lose that feeling, don't lose your head

I wrote a book about this life
And tried sell it as fiction
I wanted you to love me
But I spoke in drunken diction
So I bet that you hate me
And I’m known to trust a flutter
The rain may fall
But we’ll dance on
Like coins fell through the gutter
