4th Of July Lyrics

David & The Citizens 4th Of July

A tenner for you thoughts
what is this you've got on your mind?
always there staring
with eyes from the 60's, black and white
every day and every night
a tenner for your thoughts

A smile and a handshake won't reduce
this ocean of time between us
my heart takes an extra beat
just from the thought that we will never meet
my heart takes an extra beat
but I close my eyes and get back in line
I close my eyes and get back behind you all
'cos today is a day to feel small

No time for thinking
tomorrow like 4th of July
I'll be the fire and you'll be the light
imagine their surprise

So cut off another lock of your hair
to return to yourself
stop walking in circles, 'cos there's nothing there
cut off a lock of your hair

And close your eyes and get back in line
close your eyes and get back behind them all
'cos today is a day to feel small
