about

I climb from ashes to seek out some sanctuary
burnt unholy bridges to keep hold my sanity
debts to be payed for my past insincerity
I have no one else to blame in my place

lyrics

I could have stayed right here
I could have moved along
I could have let it all go
Conceded it from the start

The sonnet you gave to me
You tattooed it on my heart
Bringing the colours up
Bringing the colours out

And I don't think the time is now for living in your dizzy head
Submarines come surfacing for air

Some of it made us laugh
Some of it made us cry
Here we go loopy lou
All on a Saturday night

The sky's high above
There's Crocodiles below
And all connects us here
In this timeless place

And I don't think the time is now for living in your dizzy head
Submarines come surfacing for air

It's quite unusual now that you say it
I got the feeling but I couldn't play it
You got the groovy heels, I got the races

I could have stayed right here
I could have moved along
I could have let it all go
Conceded it from the start

The sonnet you gave to me
You tattooed it on my heart
Bringing the colours up
Bringing the colours out

And I don't think the time is now for living in your dizzy head
Submarines come surfacing for air

about

Dumb Poets England, UK

Maybe they are just figments of our imagination – a band made up only of dreams and memories, smoke and mirrors… a group so cool that they are a product of our collective will for them to exist at all….
