Please Stand Up Lyrics


British Sea Power Please Stand Up

Songwriters: Wilkinson, Jan Scott; Noble, Martin;

Take me somewhere quiet, please
These motorway exit gates
Are callin' to me dearly and I need a place to go

And even numbers on a timetable
Arrivals and departures and those places, names
Never seemed so strange before

If there's anyone askin', did you get a rush?
There's no point in askin', it wasn't enough
There's nobody else here, so please stand up

If there's anyone askin', did you get a rush?
There's no point in askin', it wasn't enough
There's nobody else here, so please stand up

The occultation of a summer sun
Was burnin' holes in everyone
Defenseless, what was left inside could finally escape

It seemed as if the streets had melted
It seemed as if the air was scented
I wish all of time could be like this

If there's anyone askin', did you get a rush?
There's no point in askin', it wasn't enough
There's nobody else here, so please stand up

Oh, oh, oh my love

If there's anyone askin', did you get a rush?
There's no point in askin', it wasn't enough
There's nobody else here, so please stand up

And then all of a sudden it's all better, better
A little excitement makes us wetter, wetter
Oh, my love again, again, again, again my love
