Another Travis/Britpop thing. Very tossed off lyrics, which is a shame, 'cause I can't really say I didn't have some good vacation time this week to think about it. Still, I particularly like this verse melody, so maybe there will be a second life for this, at some point ...
lyrics
It's not a nursery rhyme
The evidence of time
You won't collect a finder's fee
And when the smoke has cleared
The image, reappeared
You're not the girl you used to be
And if you see it in the mirror's glow
The memories falling
It’s not a pension plan
You’ll wonder if you can
If you’ll ever feel the same
You’ll call the same routine
You’ll light the kerosene
And wonder when you lost the game
And what you used to call your morning’s flame
Is daylight burning
facing down the years you fought
Skin is thicker than you thought
Now, you’d give it all to know
Where the blood still wants to flow
