Emily Chambers Lyrics


Ocean Colour Scene Emily Chambers

Emily Chambers would make it pay
Everyone knew she'd turn out that way
She turned her back and she'll be okay, but she's not okay at all
Every night with the radio on, Emily fears that the day won't come
The moon is there to do her harm, she's not all right at all

Don't get arrested, don't buy a machine gun
You're not on the run and you're not on the scene
You're not so cool and you're not a jerk
You may be a villain, but no Patty Hearst

You're Emily Chambers and what's worse
Is a whipping wind and a box in a hearse
And a trigger in your head and a pen in your hand

And the pain in the verse and the flat, drying land
And the thin in the air and a pain that hurts
You're Emily Chambers in the universe

Emily Chambers would make it pay
Everyone knew she'd turn out that way
Turned her back and she'll be okay, she's not okay at all
Every night with the lamplight on, Emily fears that the day has gone
The moon is there to do her harm, she's not all right at all

Don't get arrested, don't buy a machine gun
You're not on the run and you're not on the scene
You're not so cool and you're not a jerk
You may be a villain, but no Patty Hearst

You're Emily Chambers and what's worse
Is a whipping wind and a box in a hearse
And a trigger in your head and a pen in your hand

And the pain in the verse and the flat, drying land
And the thin in the air and a pain that hurts
You're Emily Chambers in the universe, grab on

Emily Chambers would make it pay
Everyone knew she'd turn out that way
Emily Chambers would make it pay
Emily knew she'd turn out that way
