Louis Eliot - The Long Way Round (2004) by Louis Eliot (보컬) on maniadb.com

Here comes the day
Falling in through the curtains
And all it says is the future is uncertain
I don't care that the world stops
For nothing and no one
I can feel the rain drops
And the warmth of the sun
There go the waves
On the beach gently breaking
They wash away all the marks
I've been making
I don't care that the world stops
For nothing and no one
i can feel the rain drops
And the warmth ot the sun
I drive the car
I don't care where i'm going
I see the wind
In your hair
As it's blowing
I'don't care that the world stops
For nothing and no one
I can feel the rain drops
And the warmth of the sun

Verse 1
Took off our ties
Straight after school
For lager and limes
Shooting pool
Underhand cigarettes
To compilation cassettes

Chorus
Now that those days are over
I wish I'd done more to know her
I was much too caught up with myself
To bother looking back
So I didn't see that Emily
Was slipping through the cracks

Verse 2
There was a club
And we would go
Cutting the rug
In junk shop clothes
Yeah we looked pretty fab
Falling out of a cab

Chorus
Now that those days are over
I wish I'd done more to know her
I was much too caught up with myself
To bother looking back
So I didn't see that Emily
Was slipping through the cracks

Verse 3
Summers went by
She moved around
I know that she tried
To settle down
But playing telephone tag
Can be a bit of a drag

Chorus
Now that those days are over
I wish I'd done more to know her
I was much too caught up with myself
To bother looking back
So I didn't see that Emily
Was slipping through the cracks

I want to live a country life
Living off the land
I'll make you a farmer's wife
If you give me your hand
I've got a country life plan
We're going to raise a family
Baby, me and you
Dig a ditch, plant a tree
Like people used to do

Bridge
I'm sick of all the city lights
Tired of all the clubs
I want to see the stars at night
I'm sick of all the drugs
We're going to take the things we need
Leave the rest behind
A fishing rod, some chicken feed
A long road through the pines

Bridge
I want to watch the sun go down
Where the air is clean
Throw a log onto a fire
Jump across a stream
If it snows at Christmas time
We'll fetch a wild goose
Pour yourself some barley wine
I'm going to fix the roof
I've got a country life plan
We're going to live a country life
Living off the land
I'll make you a farmer's wife
If you give me your hand
I've got a country life plan

When you climb the stairs tonight
And you turn out the bedroom light
Don't worry that I'm far away
We'll be alright
Lay your head
On the sheets
And from across the ocean deep
I'll dream I'm there with you
Oh my darling
Go to sleep
When the clouds cover the sun
Remember this my only one
Blindly through any starless night
To you I'd run
Lay your head
On the sheets
And from across the ocean deep
I'll dream I'm there with you
Oh my darling
Go to sleep
Lay your head
On the sheets
And from across the ocean deep
I'll dream I'm there with you
Oh my darling
Go to sleep

At eight o`clock
we said goodbye

That`s when I left
her house for mine

She said that she`d be
staying in

Well she had to be
at work by nine

So I get home and
have a bath

And left an hour
or two pass

Drifting in front
of my TV

When a film comes on
that she wants to see

It`s Monday morning
5. 19

And I`m still wondering
where she`s been

Cause every time
I try to call
I just get her machine

And now it`s
almost 6 a.m.

And I don`t want
to try again

Cause if she`s
still not back

And then this
must be the end

Well heaven knows
what then

At first I guess
she`s gone to Cannes

Her silver pack of
cigarettes

A pint of milk
food for the cat

But it`s midnight now

and she`s
still not back

It`s Monday morning
5. 19

And I`m still wondering
where she`s been

Cause every time
I try to call
I just get her machine

And now it`s
almost 6 a.m.

And I don`t want
to try again

Cause if she`s
still not back

Well heaven knows
what then
Is this the end

At half past two I
picture her

In the back of
someone else`s car

He runs his fingers
through her hair

Oh you shouldn`t left
him touch you there

It`s Monday morning
5. 19

And I`m still wondering
where she`s been

every time
I try to call
I just get her machine

And now it`s
almost 6 a.m.

And I don`t want
to try again

Cause if she`s
still not back

Well heaven knows
what then
Is this the end

Here comes the day
Falling in through the curtains
And all it says is the future is uncertain
I don't care that the world stops
For nothing and no one
I can feel the rain drops
And the warmth of the sun
There go the waves
On the beach gently breaking
They wash away all the marks
I've been making
I don't care that the world stops
For nothing and no one
i can feel the rain drops
And the warmth ot the sun
I drive the car
I don't care where i'm going
I see the wind
In your hair
As it's blowing
I'don't care that the world stops
For nothing and no one
I can feel the rain drops
And the warmth of the sun

If you were an angel, I would cut off your wings - to keep you with me, I would do anything. Like broken bottles that slip from drunken hands, Ive watched my star falling and shatter on the ground.

First you wash your hair, then you wash your hands; oh yeah, I think I understand#!J.

Untouchable, if Im not fit to even crawl if Im too sick, Ill soak my skin in alcohol until I feel untouchable.

[CHORUS]

I blew my chances as you blow-dried your hair; I thought of my answers as you walked down the stairs. Dyou think Id defile you if you were to get too close? Dyou think Id infect you? Dyou think Id give you a dose?

First you wash your hair, then you wash your hands; oh yeah, I think I understand#!J.

[CHORUS]

Ill drink until my skin is full, and I will be untouchable#!J.

[CHORUS]

Untouchable, if Im not fit to even crawl if Im too sick, Ill soak my skin in alcohol, and I will feel untouchable.

Untouchable,
Untouchable,
Untouchable,
Untouchable#!J.
