Graham Coxon Light Up Your Candles
Well I know you say now "very well done, me old son"
But it's hard you know, every day is a dark dark one
'Cos my old friend's here, tug tug tugging at my sleeve
You know he tugs so hard that he could almost make me
leave
Light up your candles, into the dark we go
To be a good man is all I want you know
Light up your candles, 'cos here we go
It's a schlep this old life, just one slip and you are
gone
Back into the void where you came from
You can't light your own way through this dark unholy
place
With just one candle and a happy face
So light it up now, fill the darkness with your grace
With just one candle and a happy face
Light it up now, your happy face... yeah, yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah
Light it up now, your happy face
It's too easy somehow, just grit your teeth and let it
go
Last seduction, total destruction
So what you gonna do now with the good life you have
found
Grin and bear it 'til you're six feet in the ground?
Light up your candles, into the dark we go
To be a good man is all I want you know
Light up your candles, 'cos here we go
Light it up now, 'cos here we go
