DUST OFF / START AGAIN
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
The rain is sad and beautiful music when your roof is thin
Every child learns the earth once it splits their chin
Dust off, start again
If you twist and shake, your neck will break
When you dance on bricks and mortar
If you raise the stake, your hand will shake
When you dance on bricks and mortar
I know it rules your dreams and days
But can it walk on water?
I've got a ten million reasons to dance today
But I've got no bricks and mortar
Tired of drawing out the day to make the next one shorter
I wanna see a different colour
But can't paint on what ain't my bricks and mortar
The glass is bitter when you bite it
The night is longer when you fight it
Think back
Remember when
The ground is cold when you're in it
But only for a minute
Dust off
Start again
Dust off
Start again
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
The poets and the artists now work in the banks
The radicals have spare rooms and paired socks
Take your piece and give thanks for your bolts and your locks
After all, it's not yours
On the threads that you rest
Every board from your floors
Every letter in your name
Every stick in your nest
Every branch on your tree
Every flash in your frame
Every breath in your chest
Every blip in your history
Everything that you blame
The glass is bitter when you bite it
The night is longer when you fight it
Think back
Remember when
The ground is cold when you're in it
But only for a minute
Dust off
Start again
Dust off
Start again
This thing eats Tories
Digests twisted glories
Devours the truth and shits out dull stories
Take two of these, get back to work
Don't call me in the morning
Don't listen to the voice, don't go berserk
Don't dive without warning
Don't you know it's hard for us to see you this way?
Don't you know it's hard for us to hear you can't navigate a single day?
You're lost, lad
You're in the hay
Don't waste my thoughts and prayers
You'll come through someday
Just don't die, lad
I need you in on Monday
The glass is bitter when you bite it
The night is longer when you fight it
Think back
Remember when
The ground is cold when you're in it
But only for a minute
Dust off
Start again
Dust off
Start again
If you twist and shake, your neck will break
When you dance on bricks and mortar
If you raise the stake, your hand will shake
When you dance on bricks and mortar
I know it rules your dreams and days
But can it walk on water?
I've got a ten million reasons to dance today
But I've got no bricks and mortar
I'm tired of drawing out the day to make the next one shorter
I want to see a different colour
But can't paint on what ain't my bricks and mortar
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
The rain is sad and beautiful music when your roof is thin
Every child learns the earth once it splits their chin
Dust off, start again
If you twist and shake, your neck will break
When you dance on bricks and mortar
If you raise the stake, your hand will shake
When you dance on bricks and mortar
I know it rules your dreams and days
But can it walk on water?
I've got a ten million reasons to dance today
But I've got no bricks and mortar
Tired of drawing out the day to make the next one shorter
I wanna see a different colour
But can't paint on what ain't my bricks and mortar
The glass is bitter when you bite it
The night is longer when you fight it
Think back
Remember when
The ground is cold when you're in it
But only for a minute
Dust off
Start again
Dust off
Start again
