Hubble Space Telescope

[Verse] You listen to what clever people say They say you'll have something to take away But on second glance, they'll make you laugh, make you angry See, they don't have a clue what I'll be taking away Probably two and three-quarter years of misery And a fear of the past, a disdain for flat caps I heard about you in the golf club Heard about you in the golf club And the ceiling, and the ceiling And the old star, and the backyard And the feeling You always said you gotta do some stuff Head into town, lay it down, down on me Tough love, tough love Impossibly early, better bе Monday Counting copper coins in a cold blue cup As if thesе things are easy to make up [Chorus] And I spent some time on an island The Mediterranean Sea brought to hand for me And I swear I saw your face there in the mountainside [Verse] You know Joni Mitchell's 68 - 71 Slept in a cave on a rock in the sun But I don't have the time, or the company See I left all the people I like the most behind They moved to the bigger city and it's about time I follow in line, high-rise, good for the mind But even when I'm kicking back on the back of the three Sitting on a doorstep takes a lot out of me And obviously not falling asleep, but plummeting By the light of an old star In a backyard, with a feeling [Chorus] And I spent some time on an island The Mediterranean Sea brought to hand for me And I swear I saw your face there in the mountainside [Verse] Sure you can touch her, she don't belong to me She really ain't interested and you'll soon see That being a man, perfecting an act, it ain't all that And sure you're looking better in a black t-shirt With those white teeth that make your eyes hurt But I was perfect for her I was perfect for her Still I hear about you in the nightclub Hear about you in the nightclub And you're leaving And you're leaving For your old star, and your backyard, and a feeling [Outro] Remember when we ran outside to take a look At the Hubble Space Telescope And you stayed in your room And after that, the night went clear pitch black Oh, remember when we ran outside to take a look At the Hubble Space Telescope And you stayed in your room And after that, the night went clear pitch black Pitch black
