Elephants
See nah, it really wasn't like that
Memories' play tricks and the old dogs they find that
They really are not elephants
In the room or otherwise
And when the skeletons come out
Its somehow a surprise
Now what comes around comes around
What goes around goes
Dip the toes in the water
Send back the tickets to the show
Because who knows
You now
Who knows anything really?
Fools and liars
And pariahs and Walter Mitty
That's about it
As far as I can tell
I put the water to my ear
And can hear seashells
We took the redeye
From LA back to London
Hand luggage only
Toblerone's' stuffed above them
Old fashions with whisky
They had run dry or rye
John Prine on the headphones
Hello in there in the sky
And that's nice
The things you remember
Life happens round the breakfast table
I don't often lose my temper
Either it isn't worth it
Or I just don't care
I only want contentment
Not resentment in the air
See nah, it really wasn't like that
Memories' play tricks and the old dogs they find that
They really are not elephants
In the room or otherwise
And when the skeletons come out
Its somehow a surprise
So it's a long road
Dry and dusty
The pretty way
I'm not racing anywhere
Squeezing the juice from everyday
If its lemons
Lemonade
If its raspberries
Pavlova
I don't care about the big stuff
I love a little cornucopia
The first sip of coffee
My last days of utopia
A sit by the river
Shoeless in Snowdonia
Feels like home
I take it with me
I want to be at home
In every strangers city
A tiny piece of anything
Means everything to me
I worry less with the radio on
And think more to the tv
I've got a little cup
It sits high up on the side
Slightly half forgotten
But displayed with some pride
It is an ancient Greek oil dipper
And that blows my mind
I own an actual object
Thats seen 1000 generations die
See nah, it really wasn't like that
Memories' play tricks and the old dogs they find that
They really are not elephants
In the room or otherwise
And when the skeletons come out
Its somehow a surprise
See nah, it really wasn't like that
Memories' play tricks and the old dogs they find that
They really are not elephants
In the room or otherwise
And when the skeletons come out
Its somehow a surprise
Memories' play tricks and the old dogs they find that
They really are not elephants
In the room or otherwise
And when the skeletons come out
