Let me push this sorry thing
Over the edge

Curled up
With messages of love
That will fan out
Over the world
As he tumbles to the sea

Because today will never happen again


Let me feel the tingling in my feet
And the sweat in my palms

I think I could sing a thousand psalms
All about ghosts in machines
But then you’d never see

That it was me
On two feet
And it was my love
Still nervous, and still free
That made the leap

Let me push this sorry thing over the edge

(Yeah, my love, my love, my love)

Working to see one frame at a time
Mine
A singular flame
Can make a world of change!

Cos there's a whole lot of anger around my legs
I can feel it sometimes
That can't be good for flight
It's a fight

Working
On getting it right
Up on high, each time
Counting wins, 1 2 3...

Hey sister
You’ve been shouting
And I can just hear you
Now

I’m looking for your brother
Have you seen him around?
He wouldn’t let this go down

Hey sister
You’ve been shouting
And I can just hear you
Now

Do you ever feel like
You could just pop off an die
Sometimes?

Well you should

Smile you beautiful thing

Don’t beat it up, don’t make it black and blue
There’s a house to build
And it needs you

There’s sunshine thru your room
It makes for a glorious mood
The world feels
Soft and new


Here’s a song for the fishes the trees and skies
And smiles everywhere
A new cool
And old school
Sunshine thru your room
And distant traffic


Sunshine thru your soul
Squares on the wall that don’t move
Diving shapes
Floating dust
Have you ever watched the sunshine through your room?

There's sunshine thru my room
And the year is nearly done
I wish I had a song
About the sunshine thru my room

Shining on me
Mixing with my waking mood
Shining thru my soul

Ebbing and flowing on a dial
The sound of a plane
A car
Yawning
The sun turning up again

The very distant sound of traffic
On Green Lanes
The sun on my hand
Have you ever watched
The sunshine thru your room?

Making squares on your wall that don't move?

Kaleidescoping shiny dust particles

Soft and new
And crispy too

There's sunshine thru my room

I see it now
What it is to make a beautiful thing
Thankyou for everything


In every fabric
In every book
In every toy and tool
In every meal

In the walls
In the garden
In the curtains
In the cupboards and cabinets

I see it now
What it is to make a beautiful thing
Thankyou for everything

What it is to make a house
A country
A future
A life

In all its detail
With love and dreams
Of peaceful oceans and communities

I still want to save the world too you know
Maybe I will be the worlds first real rock star

I see it now
What it is to make a beautiful thing
Thankyou for everything
