Conjure Something

My eyeline's on the roof of the subway, but the bottom of the roundabout
It all seems so symmetrical and half-way
Graffiti - it confuses, the chipped tiles offer me out
Well, drinks taste better when you don't choose them
Your friends last longer when you don't abuse them
The food on your mother’s plate looked better
The grass past your neighbour's gate looked better
Concrete and grey, there's NOTHING much left to say
Register it all and file it away
Concrete and grey, the traffic and the decay…
Mothers with prams, and lazy vacant wasters
Girls with fake tans, annihilate their haters
Could say hope and magic can reign down from above
Seems so strange how you can only cut the air with love
So conjure something up from the gutter
Conjure something down from the sun
You fool yourselves that here's a small country
Through a let-down life that's so vitriolic
Why don't you just turn around and run?
Ice cream tunes used to turn the air purple
So conjure something up from the gutter
Conjure something down from the sun
You try and pull apart all the layers
‘Til there's just the sound of you and your prayers
Why don't you just turn around and...
Lift my arms like they're wings and I'm an overlord
Warm wind starts to lift the litter
And there's that jarring chord I thought I heard before
I never got to the heart of that subway

'Til Death Do Us Part
04:38

I hope you realise what I sacrificed for you to be around me
I hope you realise all the dreams which will now never come true
I bought in to your hobbies
I bought in to your friends
We bought a house, we had a child, the fun just never ends
The aspirations drain away and we need to fill the void…
Well, don’t we all?
Just a crack in the sky would make me feel a whole lot better
(but it never seems to come)
I want love and truth and beautiful smiles to flood through
(and thaw me like the sun)
Tell me that you know what I mean, and I’ll forsake all the crap that I’ve seen
I bought into your hobbies
I bought into your life
We fused the join that didn’t fit, and now we’re man and wife
The motivation’s disappeared, so we paper all the cracks
And we can’t turn back…
I bought into your routine
I bought into your game
I pulled all of my shutters down, and I tidied up my brain
But now the years are running past – I only feel opaque
Well don’t we all…
