DUST OFF / START AGAIN

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) The rain is sad and beautiful music when your roof is thin Every child learns the earth once it splits their chin Dust off, start again If you twist and shake, your neck will break When you dance on bricks and mortar If you raise the stake, your hand will shake When you dance on bricks and mortar I know it rules your dreams and days But can it walk on water? I've got a ten million reasons to dance today But I've got no bricks and mortar Tired of drawing out the day to make the next one shorter I wanna see a different colour But can't paint on what ain't my bricks and mortar The glass is bitter when you bite it The night is longer when you fight it Think back Remember when The ground is cold when you're in it But only for a minute Dust off Start again Dust off Start again (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) The poets and the artists now work in the banks The radicals have spare rooms and paired socks Take your piece and give thanks for your bolts and your locks After all, it's not yours On the threads that you rest Every board from your floors Every letter in your name Every stick in your nest Every branch on your tree Every flash in your frame Every breath in your chest Every blip in your history Everything that you blame The glass is bitter when you bite it The night is longer when you fight it Think back Remember when The ground is cold when you're in it But only for a minute Dust off Start again Dust off Start again This thing eats Tories Digests twisted glories Devours the truth and shits out dull stories Take two of these, get back to work Don't call me in the morning Don't listen to the voice, don't go berserk Don't dive without warning Don't you know it's hard for us to see you this way? Don't you know it's hard for us to hear you can't navigate a single day? You're lost, lad You're in the hay Don't waste my thoughts and prayers You'll come through someday Just don't die, lad I need you in on Monday The glass is bitter when you bite it The night is longer when you fight it Think back Remember when The ground is cold when you're in it But only for a minute Dust off Start again Dust off Start again If you twist and shake, your neck will break When you dance on bricks and mortar If you raise the stake, your hand will shake When you dance on bricks and mortar I know it rules your dreams and days But can it walk on water? I've got a ten million reasons to dance today But I've got no bricks and mortar I'm tired of drawing out the day to make the next one shorter I want to see a different colour But can't paint on what ain't my bricks and mortar (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
