J J J J J J John! J J J J J J John!

I looked down from the Carillon
I looked across to the aviary
How long have they been having fun?

I want to be among them
Sitting pretty drinking Evian
I don?t think that it will be long

And I will never go down fighting (x4)

I want to do it on the tennis courts
I want to do it where they are playing sport
So they can make sport of this man
Will I find myself traveling?
Will I find myself in therapy?
Or leap and just see where I land

And I will never go down fighting (x4)

Well it is cold, cold, cold
And I think I?m going to die in here
Considering Loughborough suicide
Which I?m definitely going to do this year
And if you take a look out side
Then the answers to your questions seem quite clear
That you may as well leave
Because there?s nothing else to do around here

How long have I been inside? (x8)

Well it is cold, cold, cold
And I think I?m going to die in here
Considering Loughborough suicide
Which I?m definitely going to do this year
And if you take a look out side
Then the answers to your questions seem quite clear
That you may as well leave
Because there?s nothing else to do around here (x2)

And I will never go down fighting (x4)

LYRICS
A lonely smile in the clouds
And the smell of foreign bodies
He waits for you to ask him out
Three hours sitting in the lobby
It?s another Hollow line
From a wooden body
And you know you love him
Because you know he loves you

Hollow line
Waste of time
Hollow line
Just another Hollow Line

I heard you are getting into Zen
And you?ve got a Buddhist friend
I didn?t think you had the patience
I guess you?ve proved me wrong again

Who are you?
Who are you?

Hollow line
Waste of time
Hollow line
Just another hollow line

One day you?re sitting very still
And repeating a faburden
The next you?re wearing Faberge
On your way to Covent garden

Who are you?
Who are you?

Hollow line
Waste of time
Hollow line
Waste of time
Hollow line
Waste of time
Hollow line
Just another hollow line

I know it?s not 100% correct but it works if you play along with the song

Time signature: 2/4
Tempo: 98bpm

Intro
Mummy light the fire, light the fire, light the fire.x4

Verse 1
Spinning on a high wire ride/ On a cable car/

Look around, there?s a lot to see/ From where we are.

Verse 2
Submarines underneath our feet/ While we sleep/

Lie awake in a silent grave/ Six days deep.

Pre-chorus
Goodness me/ Bless my soul.

Chorus
Mummy light the fire, light the fire, light the fire. Mummy light the fire.x2

Fear, I feel fear, I feel fear, I feel fear. I?m in floods of tears.

Mummy light the fire, light the fire, light the fire. Mummy light the fire.

Verse 3
Break every bone I own/ Every promise I make/

I was caught in a stranger?s stare/ My first mistake.

Intro C

These are my hands,
These are brick walls,
Make them break down brick walls,
Make them breack down brick walls,
These are my hands,
These are brick walls,
Make them break down brick walls,
Make them breack down brick walls.

Where are the spoils?
Where are the treats?
I’ve been worked to the bone,
I’ve been worked off my feet,
Head in my hands,
Hands in the soil,
I’ve been cheated and stripped of my perfect retreat.

We’re all slaves on this ship,
We’re all slaves on this ship,
This ship’s sinking,
We will not reach the shore, C
We will not reach the shore, reach the shore.

My back is sore so I sleep on the floor,
With the dust and the leaves lapping under the door,
These are my chores, these are my chores,
I must not show the strain.

We’re all slaves on this ship,
We’re all slaves on this ship,
This ship’s sinking,
We will not reach the shore,
We will not reach the shore, reach the shore.

This ship’s sinking…
This ship’s sinking…
This ship’s sinking…

Turn tail and run, turn tail and run,
I will turn tail and run,
I will turn tail and run
Turn tail and run, turn tail and run,
I will turn tail and run,
I will turn tail and run
Turn tail and run, turn tail and run,
I will turn tail and run,
I will turn tail and run
Turn tail and run, turn tail and run,
I will turn tail and run…

|BREAK|F C

Turn tail and run, turn tail and run,
I will turn tail and run,
I will turn tail and run
Turn tail and run, turn tail and run,
I will turn tail and run,
I will turn tail and run

We’re all slaves on this ship,
We’re all slaves on this ship,
This ship’s sinking,
We will not reach the shore,
We will not reach the shore, reach the shore.

This ship’s sinking…
This ship’s sinking…
This ship’s sinking…

Turn tail and run, turn tail and run,
I will turn tail and run,
I will turn tail and run.
