Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So long
Your sleeves don't fall on your wrists
You're all smiles and limb
Opened up and wrapped in
[Verse 2]
Red curls
Falling on the bathroom sink
You cut them off and look like a kid
I run around collecting
[Chorus]
Skipping down Green Lanes
You stole a glass again
From the pub we play chess in
They'll never let us back in
We're criminals and boring
And we'll never need more than this
[Verse 3]
Day out
Riding on the 29
Fleshing out the storyline
Pointing at for sale signs
[Verse 4]
As if
Golds aren't twenty a pack
We'll never get our money and our breath back
We'll never hit the fast track
[Chorus]
Skipping down Green Lanes
You stole a glass again
From the pub we play chess in
They'll never let us back in
We're criminals and boring
And we'll never need more
[Outro]
We're driving on the West Coast
Gàidhlig radio
We love everything that we don't know
Paris, Texas
Next exit
I'm home and I'll never need more than this
