Nothing like a belly full of stitches To let you know you're alive Nothing like the leash of limitation To make you want to try Nothing like a dodgy fortune teller To rush the next goodbye Nothing like a naive girl Whose wide sad eyes say "Why?"
Some of this was in April Most of it was in the spring But some of it will be the autumn, too What a chill that recognition brings Yes, some of this was in April Most of it was in the spring But some of it will be the autumn, too What a chill that recognition brings
Hug me, touch me, hold me down Until I can't resist Because I have been so restless, restless And I am tired of it
Just like these crazy nations, history repeating Hot tempered and inflated, self-defeating Hand over foot digging for something to believe in A bite to the back of my neck, bliss is fleeting
I look at children and I wonder I smell the flowers and I smile If today could be tomorrow Then I have done alright so far Nothing like a careless thought To put a sparkle in the eye That sparkle is the thing I fall for every time Because I am such a magpie
Hug me, touch me, hold me down Until I can't resist Because I have been so restless, restless And I am tired of it I'm so tired of it
