~Lyrics~

Lights are on over Silver Street,
And the rain that falls beneath my feet,
The sparkling lines all written in time

They stuck the needle into your vein,
Six weeks on and some things never change, with experience.

I'm longing for Lucy now. Lucy doesn't care about herself.
No more heavyweight nights, no more cigarettes lights,
No more fainting in line, no more wasting the time of your life.
Cos I'm longing for Lucy to pull through.
Yeah

Friday night in Emergencies,
Written off as another tragedy,
And I'd love to say that you're on your own,
But I cant leave you.

Turn the key and I'm in the house,
All alone but I cant shut you out,
Let me be weak,
Let me sleep.

They talk in whispers about your name,
Do you even know what they're all saying?

Still, I'm longing for Lucy now. Lucy doesn't care about herself.
No more heavyweight nights, no more cigarettes lights,
No more fainting in line, no more wasting the time of your life.
Cos I'm longing for Lucy to pull through.

I rather like this...and his nod to Kate Bush w/ her lyric " Let me be weak...let me sleep." from "And dream of sheep" off Hounds of Love

[DangerYourselfCopies]

Wow I didn't realise that, thanks

[bensteed123]

(even though i have the album hehe)

i've always thought the chord progression at 2.43 is so so beautiful. almost dark but beautiful. i love it

I saw JM do this at Cambridge FF perhaps 7 years ago? It was in the Club Tent. I had no idea who he was. He did this song. It took me maybe 5 minutes before I could get myself back together again - utterly floored me. Priceless.

Brilliant!
