Moments of Pleasure - Nerina Pallot

Some moments that I’ve had

Some moments of pleasure

I think about us lying

Lying on a beach somewhere

I think about us diving

Diving off a rock, into another moment

The case of George the Wipe

Oh God, I can’t stop laughing

This sense of humour of mine

It isn’t funny at all

Oh, but we sit up all night

Talking about it

Just being alive

It can really hurt

And these moments given

Are a gift from time

On a balcony in New York

It’s just started to snow

He meets us at the lift

Like Douglas Fairbanks

Waving his walking stick

But he isn’t well at all

The buildings of New York

Look just like mountains through the snow

Just being alive

It can really hurt

And these moments given

Are a gift from time

Just let us try

To give these moments back

To those we love

To those who will survive

And I can hear my mother saying

«Every old sock meets an old shoe»

Ain’t that a great saying?

«Every old sock meets an old shoe»

Here come the Hills of Time

Hey there, Maureen

Hey there, Bubba

Dancing down the aisle of a plane

'S Murph, playing his guitar refrain

Hey there, Teddy

Spinning in the chair at Abbey Road

Hey there, Michael

Do you really love me?

Hey there, Bill

Could you turn the lights up?
