Oxford - Slow Gherkin

We got your message, delievered it ear to ear

Promote your passions but take them far from here

We’ve been living right by the sea

Drown the soldiers 'cos we gotta leave

Pull the pictures off of the wall and give my mother a call

Maybe it’s better, I’d hate to ruin your life

My friends versus your wife

It’s not a battle for my house

Where we celebrate our lives

My house

Where the laughter makes you cry

A thousand nights here and now I cannot sleep

'Cos in the morning, I’ll give you back the key

By the sea the mood can be blue

With a castle blocking the view

A toast to the nights that were blocked by the blinds

Back when we said that it was my house

Where the curtains block your eyes

My house

Where the cocktails float our eyes

My house

Where the rats dance with the mice

My house

WHERE YOUR CHILDREN TELL YOU LIES
