Blue Sea Blue

Feels like everyone's talking backwards

Everyone's singing the same old song

Everyone waits in line to buy minutiae

That they're told will make them grow strong

Every photo's a document

Your life in storage, so no one forgets

The subtle faux pas you made between

The first course and the postprandial chat

Conversation was worthless

Who is in line for inheritance tax?

Nobody speaks their mind because

Their personalities might clash with the facts

Fivе points for your ambience

Another for what you said about God

Nobody's surе, but the place we're searching for

Is between the strange and the odd

Not much of a renaissance man

Got blood stains on his hands

It was a shaving accident

Some poor bastard caught between razor and cheek

And that's not a nice place to be

Three star scenery

Red sun, green grass, blue sea

Blue sea

Not much of a full-grown man

Got t-shirts that I like to hang

I swear it's collectable

Some poor bastard will rue the day that he sold

I'm assembling a model army

Five star soliloquy

Red sun, green grass, blue sea

Blue sea

If you could teach me how to see

The colours in circles, spiralling

I'd take you up onto the top

Where the flat stones live that we throw off

Into the water

Sometimes I think I was born just to have a daughter (Ooh)

It's getting harder

We live a little longer but life gets shorter (Who knew)

I feel it coming

Love is not a race that you're done running (It's true)

You've gotta believe it

'Cause when you get weak, you're gonna need it (In you)

Sea blue

All the memories you can't stop

When the ambulance took you away

And the blue lights were flicking on and off

And the shadows were in your face

Just wasn't your day

Then the telekinesis starts

And the newspaper's torn to shreds

But you kept all your favourite cards

'Cause there's no room inside your head

For any more love

So you spray it across the page

In a language that you made up

And the arrows that point that way

Mean the force is enough to stop

You from tearing up

Someone wraps you in something soft

There's a sanctity in their words

That's a little bit sad at first

But you grow to accept its virtue

Sent from above

If you could teach me how to see

All the colours spiralling

I'd take you up to the top

Where we skim the flat stones off

Into the water

Sometimes I think I was born just to have a daughter

It's getting harder

We live a little longer but life gets shorter

I feel it coming

Love ain't a race that you're done running

You've gotta believe it

'Cause when you get weak, you're gonna need it in you

Sea blue (Ooh-ooh)

Sea blue (Ooh-ooh)

Sea blue (Ooh-ooh)

Sea blue (Ooh-ooh)

Sea blue (Ooh-ooh)

Sea blue (Ooh-ooh)

Sea blue (Ooh-ooh)

Sea blue (Ooh-ooh)

Sea blue (Mhm)

Sea blue (Mhm)

Sea blue
