Lyrics

She goes to Newington Green to fetch rhubarb and clementines

At the table a feast

With all the things your eyes have been

Dreaming of eating

That flicker on your lips and you’re still alone

At this time of the year Them Apples are hard to find

Form a line down the street

And mind your Qs and Ps

And where you cough and you sneeze

Move along, stay away or I’ll get the police!

All the world was in my eyes

I didn’t see you passing by

And so everyday was the same

You know inside the museum infinity’s kept in exile

Did you hear the Venetians didn’t go green

Now the fishes are nipping at their knees

Isn’t that funny oh isn’t it a scream

Ti hee hee hee

Books rattle in their shelves trying to save themselves from the fire

Sticking notes down your sleeve

Written in Bangladeshi

Saying come save us, come help me!

S.O.S can you hear us on the high street?

I saw a statue begging with its body bare

I had to leave it standing there

And so every day was the same

Guru said to free your mind

It'll help you work the overtime

And so everyday was the same

Talk to me world…

Talk to me world, why won’t you talk to me?

Tell me everything

Talk to me world, why won’t you talk to me?

Tell me everything that’s going on

Looking out from deep inside

I began to realise

Flowers blooming in my hand

A window to the universe

Opening up, showing me everything

I stared endlessly at a screen

Like a rock, or a stone, or a slate, or a skull

And so everyday was the same

She goes to Newington Green to fetch brimstone and nightshade now

(Laughter)

We don't talk about monsters cos we know they listen out

Oh aren’t you sweet

All the things that we see

You do not need to speak

We thought you knew we see everything

Even when we’re really here, half of us hangs in the air

Even when we’re fast asleep, somewhere we labour in the deep

Even when we’re all alone, something stares back on us all

And so everyday was the same

Why won't you talk to me?

Tell me everything...

Talk to me world, why won’t you talk to me?

Tell me everything

Talk to me world, why won’t you talk to me?

Tell me everything that’s going on
