Under the strain
Something's got to break
I don't think this plunge
Can take my weight
I've been up this tree
All the time you've been looking for me
And you will not sleep, or try to believe
When there's no guarantee.

Lines and lines
Of the spines
Coloured everyone
Ooooh
Down the aisles
Along the titles
Where you are your eyes
Read with your eyes
Ahhh
Read the sign above the door
It's not for everyone
Makes you feel
Individual
Pages are one
But that you ignore
Ahhh
Read the sign above the door
You're on like anyone
Down the aisles
Along the titles
Where you are your eyes
Read with your eyes
Ahhh
Read the sign above the door
It's not for everyone

I hope that you kept the note
That I left for you to read
Or did you throw it away
For passers by to stop and see
And nothing can account
For reasons why I'd be so mean
Why do I open my mouth
Where I know silence should have been
Now the leaves are off the trees
The view is clear this time of year
And as I watch as you go out
I see the breath sigh from your mouth
And nothing can account
For reasons why I'd be so mean
Why do I open my mouth
Where I know silence should have been
You never kept the note
That I left for you to read
I know you threw it away
I saw it blow around the streets
And nothing can account
For reasons why I'd be so mean
Why do I open my mouth
Where I know silence should have been

You and I
Got something, why don't we try
What fools cannot buy
What lives cannot hide
You wrote your name
In silver light
The question still unanswered
Just in case it's not right
We've got time to work it out
We've got what numbers cannot have
Who knows, we'll work this rhythm out
Miracle man
Possessing all that you can
Will you change the circumstance
Let it happen by chance
You wrote your name
In silver light
The question still unanswered
Just in case it's not right
We've got time to work it out
We've got what numbers cannot have
Who knows, we'll work this rhythm out
We've got time to work it out
We've got what numbers cannot have
Who knows, we'll work this rhythm out

You can see in miniature
Everything is so small
Close to the ground, you have found
There's no need to worry at all.
We could go to the cinema
Where everything would be so tall
But you hang around
The man that you've seen around town
There's nothing to do, since you
Broke up from school.

Oh, and I found myself lost
Looked but nowhere to belong
First status I achieve
Holds nothing I believe
And we drift on and among
According to no plan
And I don't know where we are
Can't say what we're affected by
Something has our speed
Leaves us open to defeat
And we drift on and among
According to no plan
First status I achieve
Holds nothing I believe
And we drift on and among
According to no plan

As we know, things aren't grow
What's next is close at hand
Some prefer to look backwards
Although they are the world.
Ah, Ah, Ah
I'm prepared for what's to come
Pick numbers from a bun
Choice of words is so random
I talk because I can
Ah, Ah, Ah
Plunder time, see what we find
To take back to the house
But everything has a patenting
And belongs to someone else
Ah, Ah, Ah
. . .

I'll show you for example
A situation that's like one too
And that can't really look at my time
It's harder in the morning
My room's too small for parties
Too spacious when you're lonely
So books can make us friends
That's as long as we're reading
Turn the light's off when you're leaving
I want to watch the car park empty
It's easy when they're strangers to wave goodbye
My brother's back off holiday
He's been chasing girls in Spain
He said he'd bring me a guitar
Which I said would bring me fame
I remember your excitement
Choosing pictures for your wall
And now you've seen them oh so often
You hardly see them any more
Turn the light's off when you're leaving
I want to watch the car park empty
It's easy when they're strangers to wave goodbye
I remember your excitement
Choosing pictures for your wall
And now you've seen them oh so often
You hardly see them any more
Turn the light's off when you're leaving
I want to watch the car park empty
It's easy when they're strangers to wave goodbye
