Slow Club Our Most Brilliant Friends
Sun is coming up slowly,
I didn't read it in your star-sign or mine.
God knows we're not holy,
in decisions we make,
and how we spend our time.
But I got faster and faster,
and you got harder to please,
and you got harder to find.
And our prayers were answered,
when we wrote these songs,
and we lost our minds.
And all our most brilliant friends are doubting
themselves.
And we're scared about the world,
the atmosphere, our bodies, and our health.
So just dance with me
move your body round this time machine
start it again.
I want you to celebrate,
the fact our bodies can recreate
new versions of ourselves.
We won't need help.
Something's making me nervous,
running through my body,
can't remember why.
We thought we had all the answers,
we got the stomach to learn,
but haven't got the time.
Your body looks good tonight
I wonder if you'd care,
if I was still in your shirt.
The way we were when we first met,
before your mind filled with air and mine with dirt.
And all our most brilliant friends are doubting
themselves.
And we're scared about the world,
the atmosphere, our bodies, and our health.
So just dance with me
move your body round this time machine
start it again.
I want you to celebrate,
the fact our bodies can recreate
new versions of ourselves.
We won't need help.
Hey hey, look at him go
Hey hey, look at him go
Hey hey, look at him go
Hey hey, look at him go!
You know that it's gonna take time don't you?
you know that you never were right.
But the fact is you're good,
yeah, we know that you're nice.
But we don't get a world and we don't get a life,
where all our most brilliant friends are doubting
themselves.
And we're scared about the world,
the atmosphere, our bodies, and our health.
So just dance with me
move your body round this time machine
start it again.
I want you to celebrate,
the fact our bodies can recreate
new versions of ourselves.
We won't need help.
Hey hey, look at him go
Hey hey, look at him go
Hey hey, look at him go
Hey hey, look at him go!
If dreams come true then you and I would make a two
And if I had one more I'd dream that I stayed on your
floor
And while my parents were alive
They'd say Rebecca knows the time to play the next card
to your chest
You thought about me and you said go
I thought about that and I said no
You couldn't understand why a girl like me thinks the
way I do
But I can't stand a boy who thinks things through like
you
Lets go back to the beginning of the nights that I've
been regretting
Lets go back to the beginning of the nights I've been
regretting
Now with you I always thought we lived behind a front
door
Right now you don't think that you can live any more
And I'll call and call and call and call and call and
call and call
Anyone on the phone, so tonight I'm not alone
Lets go back to the beginning of the nights that I've
been regretting
Lets go back to the beginning of the nights that I've
been regretting
And you say baby a lot in your song
It takes all my courage not to sing along
And now my beating heart belongs to my drum
I met a boy who grew up in the mountains
He really loved garden, got me thinking about things
Like appreciating everyone that I can call a friend
Seeing life as a group of tests to see through to the
end
But I'm a quitter, I don't think he knew
That I'm still thinking about you
I'm a quitter and I'm ashamed
He said he'd come back for my brain
And you say baby a lot in your songs
It takes all my courage not to sing along
And now my beating heart belongs to my drum
I just wanted to see that new Tim Burton movie
Or hang around with Laura, Jane and Suzy
And I definitely want to be a rapper
But I'm just a northern girl from where nothing really
happens
And the bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
It's from all the crunking I've been doing
