Humbug lyrics

Thought I saw you in the battleship
but it was only a look a like
She was nothing but a vision trick
Under the warning light
She was close, close enough to be your ghost
But my chances turned to toast
When i asked her if i could call her your name

I thought i saw you in the rusty hook
Huddled up in wicker chair
I wandered up for a closer look
And kissed who ever was sitting there

Sat in the café by the cracker factory

We were practicing our magic trick

And my thoughts got rude

As you talked and chewed

On the last of your pick and mix

Said your mistaken if you thinking that I am gun' go cold before

As you bit into your strawberry lace,

And then a flip in your attention in the form of a gobstopper,

Is all you have left and all is going to waste

I heard the truth was built to bend

A mechanism to suspend the guilt

Is what you are requiring still

You've got to dance little liar

Just like those fibbs that pop and fizz

And you'll be forced to take that awful quiz

And you're bound to trip

And she'll detect the fiction on

Your lips and dig a contradiction up

And the clean coming will hurt

Been fighting with my sheets

And nearly crying in my sleep

Yes, I'm battling that well taught gripe

The most restraining type

You should have racing stripes

The way you keep me in pursuit

Sharpen the heel of your boot

And you press it to my chest and you make me wheeze

Then to my knees you do promote me

I'm pinned down by the dark

A-N-I-M-A-L

Makes my head pirouette

You showed me my tomorrow

Beside a box of matches

A welcome threatening stir

My hopes of being stolen

Might just ring true

Depends who you prefer

But if it's true you're gonna run away

Tell me where

I'll meet you there

Am I snapping the excitement

If I pack away the laguther

And tell you how it feels

And does burden come to meet ya

If you can summon the strength, tow me
I can't hold down the urgency
You've got to make your decent slowly
And oil up those sticky keys

Coax me out, my love
And have a spin of my propeller

It's a necessary evil
No cause for emergency
Borrow the beak of a bald eagle
Oh, momentary synergy

Coax me out, my love
Sink into tomorrow
Coax me out, my love

I was biting the time zone,

And we embellish the banks of our bloodstreams,

And threw caution to the colourful

Then we fell asleep in the car,

Until the bumps woke me up in your grip

And the tide took me to your mouth,

And then swept me back down to your palms

It's them that put me inside the reminder

That yours is the only ocean,

(Yours Is the only ocean)

Tricking through the morning,

The tramp with the trampoline under his arm,

Shifts past your whiskers,

So spark is a charm with the barking alarm,

Weighs coil 'til the corner is turned.

And the bicycle wheels, all struggle to move round,

In your muddy mind,

Blatantly cape town,

And will intertwine in co-operative time,

Shall we sit on the springs 'til the mung goes dry?

Fools on parade cavort and carry on
For waiting eyes
That you would rather be beside than in front of
But she's never been the kind to be hollowed by the stares

She swam out of tonight's phantasm
Grabbed my hand and made it very clear
There's absolutely nothing for us here
It's a magnolia celebration
To be attempted on a Wednesday night
It's better than to get a reputation

Fiendish wonder in the carnival's wake

Though it caresses once again irritate

Tread softly stranger

Move over toward the danger THAT you seek

You think excitement has receded

And the mirror distracts

The logic of the trance

Quickly reaches and grasps

Handsome and faceless

And weightless, your imagination roams

And now it's no ones fault but yours
