lyrics

The City That Swallowed The Stars

After the film had finished
We discussed it in the car
We both said that it was
So bad it made us laugh

And at the time it didn’t mean much to me
But now I believe

Runners dressed as superheroes
Fund raising for the children’s hospital
Waved as I walked my dog past
Where they were due to start

And at the time it didn’t mean much to me
But now I believe

That when I feel
Like I’m lost in the sea
Or that I’m a monkey stuck up
A prickly puzzling tree
Well that’s when these things
They come right back to me
And I’m pleased that you were standing with me
That night the sunset shimmered between
The tower block and boarded up shops
And made the traffic wardens
Forget that they had to ruin someone’s day
Now I’m inclined to think that everything will be fine
In good time

So if your days are heavy
And the city’s swallowed the stars
Reach and hold a friendly hand
I’m so proud that you’ve made it this far
