lyrics

Back to Back we're standing arms at sides
and otherwise there's forty thousand clicks
Between our visages and several seas
If you're at all receptive to this plaintive missive
Then I bid you set your heels to rest, cock an ear and listen
It seems
The only constant in the neverending sea of faces
Is sense of missed potential and misplaced intentions
There's a horde of silent things
That claw beneath the skins of kinfolk
Stressed in lamentations of those things
They think they should have been
But I'm here to tell you that
You're the most stupendous thing I've ever seen
I might just only be chords and a melody
But I'm an authority
So just
Crop your share, they’ll try and tell you
Tend your garden, mind your beeswax
Keep your head down, man the tiller
And then
"Life's Not Fair," they'll try and tell you
When the cistern's overflowing
With the things they say in piety
There's a big ol'list of reasons why you shouldn't
Stick your neck out playing Good Samaritan to
Those who'd never help you back
But best in opposition is the is the anger
That it seems to stoke in folks
Who set the yokes upon our shoulders
Work our stretching racks
Well, I’ve got neverending stamina
Let’s take flight across Pangea fractured
Madly by tectonic machinations cracking
Sons asunder wand'ring why their wanderlust is rumbling
As they’re dumbly stacking shelves
To fund their hunts for red Oktoberfest
But I'm here to tell you that
You're the most stupendous thing I've ever seen
This random amalgam of carbon and helixes
That ties its own shoelaces
And Yet
"You're not up to much," they're sneering
Seeing failure in their tea-leaves
They're misreading, it's misleading
Cos you're
Quite spectacular, yer bastards
And I bloody loves the lot of you
I mean that quite sincerely
And Yet
"You're not up to much," they're sneering
Seeing failure in their tea-leaves
They're misreading, it's misleading
Cos you're
Quite spectacular, yer bastards
And I bloody loves the lot of you
It's not a ruse
I mean that quite sincerely
