Paper & Glue Songtext

von Emma Pollock

Oh, look at the view
Look at the people running
They've so much to do
Better than you
Better than take what's coming
Nothing's ever new

And everything, it looks so good from here
Living out a dream I've had for a year
Living out a dream I've had

Oh, the avenue
They're taking the trees down
And they're asking me and you
What can we do?
We can stand in a circle
Paying tribute with paper and glue

And everything, it looks so good from here
Living out a dream I've had for a year
Living out a dream I've had

I was sure I'd moved to heaven
But the feeling didn't last
I've never forgiven
For the things done in the past
I often stand and stare at you
Protected by the glass
But I've nothing more to say to you
So please don't ever ask

Oh, hidden from view
The place that we came from
How I miss those elegant lanes
And the sun on the blinds
They beckon me down here
From what I know, now, were sunny climes

And everything, it looks so good from here
Living out a dream I've had for a year
Living out a dream I've had

I was sure I'd moved to heaven
But the feeling didn't last
I've never forgiven
For the things done in the past
I often stand and stare at you
Protected by the glass
But I've nothing more to say to you
So please don't ever ask

I never knew that I had been here before
They're running through the houses
And breaking down doors
No matter where you go they'll follow you
Follow you
Follow you

I was sure I'd moved to heaven
But the feeling didn't last
We've never forgiven
For the things done in the past
I often stand and stare at you
Protected by the glass
But I've nothing more to say to you
So please don't ever ask
