'Come Back inside' Electric Soft Parade' (lyrics)

Off the album 'No Need to be Down Hearted'

(I am aware the quality is low. but i couldn't find this song on youtube so i decided to upload it. a sh*t upload is better then nothing...)

I do not own these lyrics or the music accompanying them.

'The noise has stopped -- traffic's still
They want to move, but never will
The sun is going down

Pavements filled with people's lives
Too much talk, too much surprise
You're never on your own

And when it's time, you'll leave your cares behind you
Just close your eyes, and let the dreams remind you...

Darkness lifts, the day begins
Whatever's left must stay within, so no-one else will know
the way you are when we're alone -- the way your face could never show
that nothing's changed at all

And when it's time, you'll leave your cares behind you
Just close your eyes, and let the dreams remind you
that when you're mine, the world just turns without us
Come back inside, there's nothing out there for us''

Just wanted to say thanks for uploading this... I love the fish!! I wrote this tune and it's my only one on the album really, and not one many people pick out.. so thanks for enjoying it and posting this lovely vid, it means a lot personally.

@alexwhiteesp Ha, you're welcome. I really love this song. I've listened to it on many rainy bus journeys while dreaming of being somewhere else. That bit at the end always wakes me up and stops me snoozing :)

come back inside is my favorite off 'No need to be down hearted'. followed closely by shore song and Woken by a kiss.

Wonderful to have heard you have tour dates planned again. Any chance you might pop across the water to Ireland?

fantastic. this song is the heart of a VERY well conceived and executed album. looking forward to more great stuff from the white bros.

[mylittlepiranafish]

@alexwhiteesp - whole-tone descending minor chords... weapon of choice for Steely Dan. Got a few on 'The Special Guest Stars' lp. Works with relative maj7th chords n'all. e.g. Cmaj7 to F#maj7 or Em9 to Bbm9...take yer pick.

@TelboyD - why thank you! Yep, I love a good unexpected key change.. Em to Bbm anyone? Yes please!!

@alexwhiteesp - it's a great song Alex. Oooooozes romantic melancholy. At 2'36"... sublime.
